---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Explosives | Not applicable | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. |
2 | Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
3 | Aerosols | Not applicable | - | - | - | Not an aerosol product. |
4 | Oxidizing gases | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |

A flash point of 22 degrees C [closed-cup] (GESTS (Access on May. 2011); Hommel (1996)) is <23 degrees C and a BP of 123.5 degrees C (Howard (1997)) is >35 degrees C, therefore, it corresponds to Category 2. Besides, it is classified in Class3PGIII in UNRTDG (UN1109 AMYL FORMATES) and that with a flash point of >=23 degrees C and <=60 degrees C is classified in Category 3. |
|
7 | Flammable solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | Containing neither chemical groups related to explosibility nor those related to self-reactivity. |
9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not classified | - | - | - | It is conceivable that it does not ignite at normal temperatures from an ignition point of 320 degrees C (Hommel (1996)). |
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 which is 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. |
16 | Corrosive to metals | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |

Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified | - | - | - | On the basis of an LD50 value of 9840 mg/kg bw for rats (PATTY (5th, 2001)), it was classified as "Not classified." |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
Lack of data. Besides, an LD50 value of >5000 mg/kg for rabbits was reported (GESTIS (Access on May. 2011)), but the classification is not possible due to List 3 information and unknown details. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | "Liquids" according to GHS definition. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - |
Lack of data. Besides, a standard Draize test using rabbits reports that irritation is moderate (RTECS (1997)), but the classification is not possible due to List 3 information and unknown details. |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible | - | - | - | No data. |
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, negatives are reported in both an Ames test and a chromosomal aberration test using Chinese hamster fibroblast (JECFA 910 (1998)) as in vitro tests. |
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. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) | Not classified | - | - | - | It was classified as "Not classified" from 96-hour LC50 = 1730 mg/L for fish (Pimephales promelas) (IUCLID, 2000). |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) | Not classified | - | - | - |
Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified as "Not classified" because it is not water‐insoluble (water solubility = 3503 mg/L, PHYSPROP Database (2012)) and acute toxicity is classified as "Not classified." |
12 | Hazardous to the ozone layer | Classification not possible | - | - | - | This substance is not listed in Annexes to the Montreal Protocol. |
