The dry substance containing sufficient nitro group is classified into Division 1.1 since it is classified into UN0340. The substance containing more than a specified amount of alcohol or plasticizer is classified into Division 1.3 (UN0342, UN0343). The substance whose nitrogen content is less than 12.6% is classified into Not Classified (UN2557). |

1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on a LD50 value of >5000 mg/kg for rats (PATTY (5th, 2001), the substance was classified into "Not classified". There is a report that the estimated human lethal dose is 500 - 5000 mg/kg (HSDB (2003)). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |

4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. There is a case report of erythema, blister and desquamation on the skin surface covered by lint moistened with this substance for twelve days in a nonallergic male who injured his foot. This case suggests that sensitization can be induced by occlusive application (PATTY (5th, 2001)). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |

- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. In a case-control test of workers from a plastics producing plant, a possible association between rectal cancer and cellulose nitrate workers was identified.

Ingestion poisoning with the substance is similar to ethanol overdose except for a more rapid onset and a shorter duration of symptoms (HSDB (2003)). Inhalation of the substance may result in dizziness, giddiness, euphoria, and CNS depression. In addition, labored breathing and unconsciousness may occur (HSDB (2003)). Based on these reports, the substance was classified into Category 3 (narcotic effects). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
