1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H302 | P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Based on its LD50 = 2.14 mL/kg = 1977 mg/kg for rats (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into Category 4. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H312 | P302+P352 P362+P364 P280 P312 P321 P501 |
Based on its LD50 = 1.77 mL/kg = 1637 mg/kg for rabbits (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into Category 4. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) | Category 4 |
Warning |
H332 | P304+P340 P261 P271 P312 |
Since inhalation of 2800 ppm of the substance for 4 hours killed three of six rats (ACGIH (2001)), and it is rated R20 in the EU classification, the substance was classified into Category 4. As relevant information, since the saturated vapour pressure concentration at 25degC is 3950 ppm, the substance is considered to be a vapour with almost no included mists at the test concentration (2800 ppm). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Not classified |
- |
- | - | The substance was moderately irritating when held in contact with the skin of guinea pigs for 24 hours (PATTY (5th, 2001)). However, since it was mildly irritating to rabbit skin, producing a grade 3 response (range 1 to 10) when left in contact with the skin for 24 hours (PATTY (5th, 2001))., the substance was classified into "Not classified" in JIS classification (equivalent to Category 3 in UN GHS). As relevant information, it is said that repeated open application of the substance in humans did not cause irritation (GESTIS (accessed in August 2008)). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 2A |
Warning |
H319 | P305+P351+P338 P337+P313 P264 P280 |
Based on the result of grade 5 (scale of 1 to 10), as it causes severe corneal burn when applied to the eyes of rabbits (PATTY (5th, 2001)), the substance was classified into Category 2A. | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

As the results of a mouse inhalation exposure test of 2-methylcyclohexanone, irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract has been reported (PATTY (5th, 2001)), and as characteristics of an isomeric mixture of methylcyclohexanones, at low concentrations, it was described to be irritating to the eyes, the nasal cavity, and the throat (PATTY (5th, 2001)). In addition, anesthesia and hypothermia were observed in rabbits that survived dermal administration of 2-methylcyclohexanone (PATTY (5th, 2001)), and rabbits or cats became somnolent within one hour after exposure to 2-methylcyclohexanone via inhalation (ACGIH (2001)). Also as characteristics of high concentration exposure of an isomeric mixture of methylcyclohexanones, inhibition of the central nervous system and anesthesia were indicated (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Based on the above results, the substance was classified into Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation, narcotic effects). | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | A test in which rabbits were exposed by inhalation of an isomeric mixture of methylcyclohexanones solely provided data on repeated exposure. Exposure of methylcyclohexanones at 182 and 514 ppms for 10 weeks (90-day conversion, 0.64, 1.81 mg/L) or 1139 and 1822 ppms for 3 weeks (90-day conversion, 1.21, 2.04 mg/L) caused a few minor effects, including slight conjunctival congestion, but no major toxicities (PATTY (5th, 2001)). However, since the test substance was not 2-methylcyclohexanone but an isomeric mixture of methylcyclohexanones, the tested animal species was rabbit only and the test was performed many years ago (1943), and details of the testing design, including the number of used animals, inspected organs (other than the liver and the kidneys) are not indicated, it is doubtful that the substance should be classified into "Not classified", so it was classified into "Classification not possible". | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Based on its 24h-EC50 = 377 mg/L for crustaceans (Daphinia magna) (ECOTOX, 2008), the substance was classified into "Not classified". | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | Since the substance is water soluble (water solubility, 5142 mg/L (SRC, 2005)) and its preexisting classification for acute toxicity is "Not classified", it was classified into "Not classified". | FY2008 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (Sep, 2008) |
