Rat LD50 value: 3730mg/kg and 1600 - 3200 mg/kg (PATTY 4th, 1994). Calculated based on the data above, and the lowest value of 1600mg/kg was adopted to be classified as category 4. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Based on rat LD50 value: 6480mg/kg (PATTY 4th, 1994), it was set as the outside of Category. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Category 3 | Danger | H331: Toxic if inhaled |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P311: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Based on rat LC50 (4 hours) value : 2000ppm (7.032mg/L) (ACGIH 7th, 2001, PATTY 4th, 1994), which indicates steam with almost no mist from its vapor pressure, it was classified as Category 3 by the ppm concentration standard. | |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Category 5 | - | Warning | H333: May be harmful if inhaled | P304+P312: IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. | There is the description in the inhalation exposure test using a guinea pigs that it died from 50000ppm of 50-minute exposure (4-hour equivalent 36.478mg/L) (ACGIH 7th, 2001), or 50000ppm of 30 - 60-minute exposure (4-hour equivalent 21.974mg/L at the time of considering it as exposure for 30 minutes) (PATTY 4th, 1994). LC50 (4 hours) value is judged that it became 21.974mg/L or more, and it was set as category 5. |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 3 | - | Warning | H316: Causes mild skin irritation | P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. | It was set as Category 3 from description that mild irritation was acknowledged by apply on the skin of a rabbit (ACGIH 7th, 2001) and a guinea pig (PATTY 4th, 1994). |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A-2B | Warning | H319: Causes serious eye irritation |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

We classified it as Category 2A-2B based on the description that it had mild to moderate stimulativeness in the test applied to the eyes of the rabbits (PATTY (4th, 1994)). | |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 3 (Narcotic effects, Respiratory tract irritation) | Warning |
H335: May cause respiratory irritation (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation) H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (narcotic effects, respiratory tract irritation) |
P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P405: Store locked up.

Because of descriptions in ACGIH (7th, 2001) and PATTY (4th, 1994) referring to confirmation of anesthetic actions or respiratory irritant in inhalation exposure tests using guinea pigs or rats, and of descriptions in ACGIH (7th, 2001) and PATTY (4th, 1994) indicating respiratory tract irritation to humans, it was judged as Category 3 (anesthetic actions, respiratory irritant). | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Based on the description that significant toxicity was not observed with the dose which exceeds the guidance value range of Category 2 in the administration test in drinking water and inhalation exposure test using the rat (PATTY (4th, 1994)), there was a possibility that it was Out Of Category, however, the number of the animals tested is unknown for the test in drinking water and the number of the animals tested was small (5) in inhalation exposure test, so we thought the data is too insufficient to determine it to be Out Of Category, therefore we presupposed that we could not classify it. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Category 2 | Warning | H305: May be harmful if swallowed and enters airways |
P301+P310: IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P331: Do NOT induce vomiting. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
Category 2 because of a ketone composed of 13 carbon atoms or less. |
