A flash point of 18 degrees C [closed cup] (Gangolli (2nd, 1999)) which is < 23 degrees C and an initial boiling point of 101 degrees C (Hommel (1996)) which is > 35 degrees C correspond to Category 2.
Besides, it is classified in class 3 subsidiary risk 8PGII in UNRTDG (UN2353).
7 Flammable solids Not applicable - - - "Liquids" according to GHS definition.
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 Classification not possible - - - No data.
10 Pyrophoric solids Not applicable - - - "Liquids" according to GHS definition.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - No established test method suitable for liquid substances.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not applicable - - - Not containing metals or semimetals (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - An organic compound that contains oxygen and chlorine and these elements are not chemically bonded to elements other than carbon.
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable - - - "Liquids" according to GHS definition.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - An organic compound that does not contain -O-O- structure.

Because there is the information that it is a strong irritant to tissue (HSDB (2003)) and it is classified in C; R34 in EU classification (EC-JRC (ESIS) (Access on Jan. 2011)), it was classified in Category 1.
Besides, this substance is classified in class 3, subsidiary risk 8PGII in UNRTDG (UN2353).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 1

Danger
H318
P305+P351+P338
P280
P310
Because there is the information that it is a strong irritant to tissue (HSDB (2003)) and it is classified in Category 1 in skin corrosion/irritation in this GHS classification, it was classified in Category 1.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - No data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - No data.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - The classification is not possible due to no in vivo test data.
Besides, an Ames test in an in vitro test reported a weakly positive result (NTP DB (1986)).
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - No data.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - No data.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - No data.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - No data.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - No data.
