PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Hazard class		Classification	Pictogram Signal word	Hazard statement (code)	Precautionary statement (code)	Rationale for the classification	Classification year (FY)	GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government
1	Explosives	Not classified (Not applicable)	- -	-	-	There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules. (Since the content of sulfur trioxide varies the property of the substance, it is either liquid or solid; at room temperature, it is usually liquid, but it could be solid due to the contents of the sulfur trioxide.)

In addition, it reacts violently with water and humidity, and heat and sulfates are generated. However, sulfate is nonflammable.	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
13	Oxidizing liquids	Not classified	- -	-	-	Not classified because of UNRTDG No. 1831, Class: 8(6.1), PG I (not Class: 5.1) though it is a strong oxidizing agent (ICSC(J), 2005)	FY2006	GHS Classification Manual （10 Feb, 2006）
