- Remarks:
- The handbook "Toxicity of Industrial Organic Solvents" (Browning, E. 1952) is not referred to as reliable source in Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Table R.7.1-2 Sources of physico-chemical data. The data does support the key study although no information was given on the temperature and the pressure at which the appearance was assessed.

- Odour:
- other: weak odour resembling that of ethyl oxybutyrate
- Substance type:
- organic
- Conclusions:
- The test substance is a colourless liquid with a weak odour. There is no information given at which temperature and pressure the appearance of the test substance was assessed, but the author of this IUCLID data set assumed that the temperature is room temperature (20-25 °C) and the pressure atmospheric pressure (around 1 bar).
