Besides, because this substance is a mixture of Cis and Trans isomers, and due to wide-range flash points, a flash point measurement on an actual sample is necessary for judgment.

However, we found no reports of cases about the animal test result in which this compound (liquid) was directly applied to the eyes or reports in which it entered into the human eye. Therefore we could not classify it for the insufficiency of data.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）

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”.
