PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification
1	Explosives	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is a chemical group associated with explosive properties (nitro group) present in the molecule, and the calculated oxygen balance is -94, higher than the criteria: -200, but the classification is not possible due to no data.
2	Flammable gases	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
3	Aerosols	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Not aerosol products. It was classified as "Not classified."
4	Oxidizing gases	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
5	Gases under pressure	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
6	Flammable liquids	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
7	Flammable solids	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	No data available.
8	Self-reactive substances and mixtures	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is a chemical group associated with explosive properties (nitro group) present in the molecule, but the classification is not possible due to no data.
9	Pyrophoric liquids	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
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 (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At). It was classified as "Not classified."
13	Oxidizing liquids	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
14	Oxidizing solids	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	The substance is an organic compound containing oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine), which is chemically bonded to the element other than carbon or hydrogen (N). However, the classification is not possible due to no data.
15	Organic peroxides	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule. It was classified as "Not classified."
16	Corrosive to metals	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	Classification is not possible because test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.
17	Desensitized explosives	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	There is a chemical group associated with explosive properties (nitro group) present in the molecule, but the classification is not possible due to no data.

HEALTH HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification
1	Acute toxicity (Oral)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there was a report on an LD50 value for mice of 1,400 mg/kg, but it was not adopted for classification because it was information from RTECS in List3, and its details were unknown. Therefore, the category was changed from the previous classification. [Reference Data, etc.] (1) LD50 for mice: 1,400 mg/kg (Legacy RTECS data cited in PubChem (Access on September 2020))
1	Acute toxicity (Dermal)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases)	Not classified	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Solid (GHS definition). It was classified as "Not classified."
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
1	Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists)	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
2	Skin corrosion/irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
3	Serious eye damage/eye irritation	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4	Respiratory sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
4	Skin sensitization	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
5	Germ cell mutagenicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.
6	Carcinogenicity	Category 2	Warning	H351	P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] It was classified in Category 2 from (1), (2). [Evidence Data] (1) As for classification results by domestic and international organizations, it was classified in Group 2B by IARC (IARC Sup7 (1987)), and Group 2B by the Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) (Recommendation of Occupational Exposure Limits (Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH)) (proposed in 1991)). (2) This substance was carcinogenic after oral administration to mice, rats, and hamsters. Stomach and pulmonary tumors and lymphocytic leukemia mainly occurred in mice, and in rats, tumors in the mammary gland, kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal tract and lymphocytic leukemia mainly occurred. In hamsters, tumors in the forestomach and urinary bladder mainly occurred (IARC 7 (1974)).
7	Reproductive toxicity	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification was not possible due to lack of data.
8	Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification was not possible due to lack of data.
9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification was not possible due to lack of data.
10	Aspiration hazard	Classification not possible	- -	-	-	[Rationale for the Classification] Classification not possible due to lack of data.

This GHS classification was conducted based on the information sources and the guidance for classification and judgement which are described in the GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government etc. Using other literature, test results etc. as evidence and including different content from this classification result in a label or SDS are allowed.
Hazard statement and precautionary statement will show by hovering the mouse cursor over a code in the column of "Hazard statement" and "Precautionary statement," respectively. In the excel file, both the codes and statements are provided.
A blank or "-" in the column of "Classification" denotes that a classification for the hazard class was not conducted in the year.
An asterisk “*” in the column of “Classification” denotes that “Not classified (or No applicable)” and/or “Classification not possible” is applicable. Details are described in the column of “Rationale for the classification”.
