Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There are the date about rat LD50 value of 2-methylcyclohexanone=1967mg/kg (ACGIH (7th, 2001), PATTY (4th, 1994), Recommendation of Sanei Academy (1993)), and rat LD50 value of 4-methylcyclohexanone=800-1600mg/kg (PATTY (4th, 1994)). But there was no data for isomer mixture, and it was unable to classify because of lack of data. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | There are data of rabbit dermal LD50 value of 2-methylcyclohexanone = 1627mg/kg (ACGIH (7th, 2001)) and 1770mg/kg (PATTY (4th, 1994), Japan Society for Occupational Health recommendation (1993)). But there is no data on isomer mixtures and data is insufficient, it cannot be classified. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 2 | Warning | H315: Causes skin irritation |
P302+P352: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P332+P313: If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P321: Specific treatment (see ... on this label). P362: Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. |
There was no data on the isomer mixture, But there was description that moderate irritation was seen in the guinea pigs about 2-methylcyclohexanone (PATTY (4th, 1994)). So it was set as Category 2. | |
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. P337+P313: If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. |
We found no data about the isomer mixture, however, we found the description in PATTY (4th, 1994) that moderate irritation was seen in the rabbits for 2-methylcyclohexanone. Therefore we classified it as Category 2A-2B. Since there was no data about resilience, deliberate categorization was impossible. | |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
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 (Respiratory tract irritation, Narcotic effects) | Warning |
H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (respiratory tract irritation, narcotic effects) H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation, narcotic effects) |
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. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was judged that there was respiratory irritant because of descriptions in PATTY (4th, 1994) and ACGIH (7th, 2001) referring to that mucosae were stimulated by inhalation exposure tests using rats, mice and guinea pigs, while it was judged that there were anesthetic actions because of descriptions in PATTY (4th, 1994) and ACGIH (7th, 2001) referring to confirmation of drowsiness (somnolent) through inhalation exposure tests using rabbits and cats at 2500ppm for one hour. So determined to be Category 3 (respiratory irritant, anesthesia action). | |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data |
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 being a primary normal alcohol composed of carbon atoms (3<=n>=13) and containing an isobutyl alcohol and ketone composed of carbon atoms (n>=13). |
