PHYSICAL HAZARDS
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Although it contains chemical groups (-NO3) associated with explosive properties, it was classified as "Not classified" because it is classified as Division 5.1, PG II by UNRTDG (UN1514). |
| 2 | Flammable gases （including chemically unstable gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Not aerosol products. |
| 4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 5 | Gases under pressure | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (Hommel (1996)) |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | This substance is classified as an oxidizing substance. |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (Hommel (1996)) |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Not combustible (Hommel (1996)) |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Although it contains a metal (Zn), its water solubility is complete (200 g/100 mL H2O) (Hommel (1996)), and it is considered that the substance doesn't react strongly with water. |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Category 2 |
|
Danger | H272: May intensity fire; oxidizer |
P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction. P210: Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. P220: Keep/Store away from clothing/.../combustible materials. P221: Take any precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles/... P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It is Category 2, because it is classified into Division 5.1, PG II in UNRTDG (UN1514). In addition, it is reported mixture of this substance and combustible materials easily ignites and burned fiercely (Chemical Substance Safety Data Book (The Chemical Substance Information Workshop) (1997)). |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic compound |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 4 |
|
Warning | H302: Harmful if swallowed |
P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on the rat LD50 value of 1330 mg/kg (EHC 221 (2001)), the substance was classified into Category 4. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (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 | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data were available. Irritation may be caused by contact to skin (HSDB (2003)), but there was not further information of details. |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data were available. Irritation may be caused by contact to eye (HSDB (2003)), but there was not further information of details. |
| 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 | - | - | - | - | Because no in vivo test data available, the classification was not possible. As relevant information, as for in vitro test, negative results in the Ames test were reported (Mutagenicity Test Data of Existing Chemical Substances based on the toxicity investigation system of the Industrial Safety and Health Law (1996)). |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 2 (systemic toxicity) |
|
Warning | H371: May cause damage to organs (systemic toxicity) |
P309+P311: IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
In rats and mice administered orally, the majority of deaths occurred within the first 48 hours. The clinical and physical signs of toxicity included miosis, conjunctivitis, decreased food consumption and body weight, hemorrhage in the tail and hematosis. In the survivors, these effects disappeared with time. The LD50 values of rats and mice were 1330 mg/kg and 1452 mg/kg, respectively (EHC 221 (2001)). Because of LD50 values corresponding to Category 2 and unspecified target organs, the classification was determined as Category 2 (systemic toxicity). |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available. |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| 12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | This substance is not listed in Annexes to the Montreal Protocol. |
