    It has to do with the amount of vapor in the atmosphere it takes to be fatal.

    To the best of my understanding, if the lethal concentration of vapors in the atmosphere for 50% of test animals, hence lc50, is less than or equal to 1000 milliliters per cubic meter of air, the product requires inhalation hazard placards.
