A test method is unknown for a flash point of 76 deg C [unknown] (Lange (2005)), but it is estimated to be > 60 deg C and <= 93 deg C in the prescribed test method. Therefore, it was classified in Category 4.

-
- - Liquid (GHS definition)
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible

-
-
- - The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At).
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable
-
-
- - The substance is an organic compound containing oxygen (but not fluorine or chlorine) which is chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.

Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Not classified
-
-
- - It was classified as "Not classified" in the Classification JIS (Category 5 in UN GHS classification) based on an LD50 value of 3,600 mg/kg bw for rats (JECFA 1095 (2004)).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Not classified
-
-
- - It was classified as "Not classified" based on an LD50 value of > 5,000 mg/kg/bw for rabbits (IUCLID (2000)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable
-
-
- - Liquid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available. Besides, it is described in List 3 information that TCLo (Lowest Toxic Concentration) by 4-hour exposure was 0.5 mg/L for rats (RTECS (2011)).
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2

A test in which 0.5 mL of undiluted this substance was applied to rabbits (3 or 4 animals) for 4 hours (OECD TG 404, GLP) was conducted three times, slight to moderate erythema and slight to moderate edema were observed during an observation period (1-7 days), and the primary irritation index (PII) was 3.67, 3.33, 2.92, respectively (ECETOC TR 66 (1995)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 2. Besides, it is reported that this substance was severely irritating at a 32% concentration in a human patch test (HSDB (2007)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Category 1

This substance was classified in Category 1 because it was listed as a contact allergen in Contact Dermatitis (5th, 2011). Besides, as human cases, it is reported that a 32-year-old woman who had worked for a company of baking ingredients, handling grated lemon peel and lemon oil for several years developed allergic contact dermatitis of the fingers of both her hands, and this substance was proven to be the only source of the allergic reaction as a result of investigation (HSDB (2007)), and it is reported that a bartender with dermatitis of hands developed allergic contact hypersensitivity of the skin against lemon, lime, and orange and was patch tested positive to this substance (HPVIS (2009)). On the other hand, as for animal tests, negative results are reported in a maximization test and a Buehler test with guinea pigs (IUCLID (2000)).
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible
-
-
- - The classification is not possible due to no in vivo test data. Besides, as for in vitro tests, it was negative in an Ames test, but an equivocal result was obtained in a chromosomal aberration test with cultured Chinese hamster cells because polyploidization was observed (USEPA/HPV (2001)).
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)

It was classified in Category 3 (narcotic effects) because depression and coma were observed as toxic signs in an acute oral toxicity test with rats (LD50 value: 3600 mg/kg bw) (USEPA/HPV (2001)).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible
-
-
- - It is reported that no treatment-related effects were observed in any test item in a 16-week oral administration test with rats, and the NOEL was 10000 ppm (500 mg/kg bw/day) above the guidance value range (JECFA 1095 (2004)). Therefore, it is considered to correspond to "Not classified" in the oral route. However, because the test substance was a mixture with the isomer of an unknown ratio of this substance, and effects in the other routes (dermal, inhalation) are unknown due to no data, it was classified as "Classification not possible."
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible
-
-
- - No data available.

11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Acute) Category 2

H401 P273
P501
It was classified in Category 2 from 96-hour LC50 = 2.6 mg/L for fish (salmo trutta) (AQUIRE, 2013).
11 Hazardous to the aquatic environment (Long-term) Not classified
-
-
- - Reliable chronic toxicity data were not obtained. It was classified in Category 2 in acute toxicity Category 2. However, it is rapidly degradable (readily biodegradable, BOD 36, 70% (Biodegradation and Bioconcentration Results of Existing Chemical Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, 1980)), and low bioaccumulation is estimated (LogKow = 3.47 (NITE, 2012)). Therefore, it was classified as "Not classified."
12 Hazardous to the ozone layer Classification not possible
-
-
- - This substance is not listed in the Annexes to the Montreal Protocol.
