8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties. |
9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Auto-ignition point is 315 degC (GESTIS (access on Sep. 2009)) exceeding 70 degC. |
10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available. |
12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At). |
13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | The substance is an organic compound containing oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine) which is chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen. |

Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on a LD50 value of >5000 mg/kg bw for rats (JECFA (1999)), the substance was classified into "Not classified". |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. As relevant information, a LD50 value is >5000 mg/kg bw for rats (RTECS (2004)). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. As information in a document in List 3, there is a report of "moderate" irritating in a Draize test where 500 mg of the substance was applied to the skin of rabbits for 24-hour (RTECS (2004)). |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data from in vivo mutagenicity tests. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, most of the results in Ames tests are negative (JECFA (1999), NTP DB (1999)). |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Rats exposed via drinking water for 13 weeks, resulted in increased liver weights and a decrease in hemoglobin and red blood cell counts at a concentration of 12,000 ppm (1300 mg/kg bw/day). No other adverse effects were noted in hematological examination or histopathological examination. Therefore, 3000 ppm (330 mg/kg bw/day) was a NOEL (JECFA (1999)). Based on the data, the substance corresponds to "Not classified" with oral exposure since the NOEL exceeds the upper limit of the guidance value range. However, classification was not possible due to lack of data with other exposure routes. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
