Hazards identification SDS §2
Harmonised EU classification — CLP Annex VI · Index 606-001-00-8. A supplier SDS may add self-classified hazards; this is the legal minimum.

Flammable liquid — Category 2 (Flam. Liq. 2)
- H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
Eye irritation — Category 2 (Eye Irrit. 2)
- H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
Narcotic effects — STOT SE 3
Precautionary statements (P-codes)

- P241 Use explosion-proof equipment.
- P242 Use non-sparking tools.
- P264 Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- P280 Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
- P305 IF IN EYES: rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
- P313 Get medical advice/attention.

Physical and chemical properties SDS §9
The full physical-property table (melting/boiling point, flash point, explosion limits, vapour pressure, density) is being populated for this substance from ECHA registration data and will appear here as it lands.
Stability and reactivity SDS §10
Reactive group (CAMEO/NOAA): Ketones. Our database documents 9 incompatible and 15 caution reaction-partner groups for acetone — including which gases each contact can release.
Disposal considerations SDS §13
Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local and national regulations — in the EU under the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC. Never discharge to drains or municipal waste; hand contaminated packaging and unused product to an authorised waste-disposal company. The supplier's SDS section 13 lists the applicable waste codes for the specific product.
Transport information SDS §14

MSDS vs SDS: is there a difference?
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the older name for the same document. In the US, OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (2012) adopted the GHS-standardised 16-section Safety Data Sheet; in the EU the format is set by REACH Annex II. So a "acetone MSDS" and a "acetone SDS" refer to the same document — today it is issued as an SDS. Full breakdown of the differences →

Reference aid only. This page summarises the harmonised EU classification and computed storage guidance — it is not a Safety Data Sheet and does not replace one. Always verify hazards, handling and storage against the supplier's SDS (sections 7 and 10) and local regulations before use. Page updated 2026-07-27.
Frequently asked questions
Is an MSDS the same as an SDS?
In practice, yes. MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is the older name for the same document. In the US, OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (2012) adopted the GHS-standardised 16-section Safety Data Sheet; in the EU the SDS format is set by REACH Annex II. A document you find labelled "acetone MSDS" is today issued as an SDS.
What GHS pictograms does acetone require?
Under the harmonised EU classification (CLP Annex VI), acetone carries GHS02 and GHS07 with the signal word "Danger". Hazard statements: H225, H336, H319. A supplier's SDS may add self-classified hazards on top of this harmonised minimum.
What should acetone never be stored with?
Based on its storage class (Flammable liquids), acetone must not share storage with: Organic peroxides & self-reactives; Oxidizing acids; Oxidizers. Verify against the supplier's SDS sections 7 and 10 before finalising storage.
Where can I download an official acetone SDS PDF?
From your own supplier — an SDS is issued per product and supplier, so the correct PDF for an inspection is the one matching the product you actually purchased. The supplier links on this page lead to the official SDS libraries of major distributors.
