Rationale for the classification
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
-
-
- - 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 solid Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Classification not possible
-
-
- - It does not contain a chemical group associated with explosive properties but may contain a chemical group associated with self-reactive properties (unsaturated bond), however, the classification is not possible due to no data.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified
-
-
- - From information on water solubility: miscible (20 deg C) (IUCLID (2000)), it is recognized that it does not react vigorously with water.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Not applicable
-
-
- - It is an organic compound which does not contain fluorine or chlorine but contains oxygen, and the oxygen is bonded to sodium. However, this does not contribute to oxidization because it is ionically bonded.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable
-
-
- - Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule.
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible
-
-
- - Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.

Precautionary statement
(code)
Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified
-
-
- - It was classified as "Not classified" based on a report on an LD50 value of > 5,000 mg/kg for rats (IUCLID (2000)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible
-
-
- - There is a report on an LD50 value of > 1,200 mg/kg for rabbits (IUCLID (2000)), but the category cannot be determined. Therefore, the classification is not possible.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Not applicable
-
-
- - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no information on this CAS RN.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- - It is reported to be not irritating or moderately irritating in multiple tests according to OECD TG 404 (IUCLID (2000)), but the details of test conditions and results are unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible."
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- - It is reported to be not irritating or moderately irritating in multiple tests according to OECD test guideline 405 (IUCLID (2000)), but the details of test conditions and results are unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible."
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - It is described that no skin sensitization was observed in guinea pigs (IUCLID (2000)), but no description denies sensitization in the information sources in List 1 of the GHS classification guidance for the Japanese government. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible."
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no in vivo or in vitro information on this CAS RN.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no information on this CAS RN.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no information on this CAS RN.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no information on this CAS RN.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, a dermal exposure test with rabbits is reported in IUCLID (2000), but it cannot be used for classification because it is a test with only one dose.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible
-
-
- - Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is no information on this CAS RN.

Rationale for the classification
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 2
-
-
H401 P273
P501
From 24-hour EC50 = 4.2 mg/L for crustacea (Daphnia magna) (IUCLID, 2000), it was classified in Category 2.
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Category 2


-
H411 P273
P391
P501
Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified in Category 2 because appropriate data on rapid degradability were not obtained, and it was classified in Category 2 in acute toxicity.
12 Hazardous to the ozone layer Classification not possible
-
-
- - This substance is not listed in the Annexes to the Montreal Protocol.
