5 | Gases under pressure | * |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified (Not applicable)." |
6 | Flammable liquids | * |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" from information that it is not combustible (Hommel (1991)). |
7 | Flammable solids | * |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified (Not applicable)." |
8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | * |
- |
- | - | There are no chemical groups present in the molecule associated with explosive or self-reactive properties. It was classified as "Not classified (Not applicable)." |
9 | Pyrophoric liquids | * |

11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | * |
- |
- | - | It was classified as "Not classified" from information that it is not combustible (Hommel (1991)). |
12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | * |
- |
- | - | It contains a metal (V), and there is information that it reacts vigorously with severe heating on contact with water (Hommel (1991)). However, because gases that are formed at that time (vanadium(III) trichloride, vanadium trichloride oxide, hydrogen chloride) are not flammable, it was classified as "Not classified." |
13 | Oxidizing liquids | * |
- |
- | - | It is an inorganic compound containing halogen (chlorine) (but not oxygen). However, the classification is not possible due to no data. |
14 | Oxidizing solids | * |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified (Not applicable)." |
15 | Organic peroxides | * |
- |
- | - | Inorganic compound. It was classified as "Not classified (Not applicable)." |
16 | Corrosive to metals | * |
- |
- | - | Classification is not possible because test methods applicable to low-temperature-boiling liquids are not available. |
17 | Desensitized explosives | * |
- |
- | - | There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule. It was classified as "Not classified." |

[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1), (2), it was classified in Category 1. Since new data was obtained, the category was changed. [Evidence Data] (1) This substance is corrosive to human skin, eyes and mucous membranes (HSDB (Access on August 2019)). (2) In "Disease designated by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare due to work involving exposure to simple chemical substances or compounds (including alloys) designated by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare" (Ministry of Labor Notification No. 33, 1996), the diseases designated by the Minister of Labour (currently the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare) for vanadium and its compounds are described as skin disorders, anterior eye disorders or respiratory tract/pulmonary disorders. |

[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1)-(3), it was classified in Category 1 (respiratory organs). Since new data was obtained, the category was changed from the previous classification. [Evidence Data] (1) It is described that this substance is easily decomposed by moisture in the air and that it gradually decomposes into vanadium trichloride (CAS RN 7718-98-1) and chlorine (CAS RN 7782-50-5) at 63 deg C or lower (Environmental Risk Assessment for Chemical Substances Vol.11 (Ministry of the Environment, 2013)). It is described that chlorine causes effects such as irritation to the throat and nose, coughing and dyspnea in humans (ACGIH (7th, 2001), PATTY (6th, 2012)). (2) It is described that breathing this substance can irritate the lungs causing coughing and/or shortness of breath and also that higher exposures can cause pulmonary edema (HSDB (Access on August 2019)). (3) In "Disease designated by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare due to work involving exposure to simple chemical substances or compounds (including alloys) designated by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare" (Ministry of Labor Notification No. 33, 1996), the diseases designated by the Minister of Labour (currently the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare) for vanadium and its compounds are described as skin disorders, anterior eye disorders or respiratory tract/pulmonary disorders. |
