Other hazards which do not result in classification

Slightly irritating to respiratory system. Liquid evaporates quickly and can ignite leading to a flash fire, or an explosion in a confined space. Vapour in the headspace of tanks and containers may ignite and explode at temperatures exceeding auto-ignition temperature, where vapour concentrations are within the flammability range. Electrostatic charges may be generated during pumping. Electrostatic discharge may cause fire. Kerosene may ignite on surfaces at temperatures above auto-ignition temperature.
