Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
4.9 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
138 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
121.7 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

According to ECHA guidelines, a route to route extrapolation is performed if no information by the inhalative route is available. Following ECHA guidance document Chapter R.8 the NOAEL (oral) of 138 mg/kg bodyweight in rats has to be divided by a factor of 0.38 m³/kg body weight and corrected for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers compared to workers in rest (6.7 m³/10 m³), resulting in a corrected starting point of 243 mg/m³. In addition, a default factor of 2 is applied to account for differences in oral and inhalative absorption properties. The corrected starting point is therefore: NOAEC (corrected) = 138 mg/kg / 0.38 m³/kg x 0.5 x (6.7 m³/10m³) = 121.7 mg/m³.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The dose response relationship is considered unremarkable, therefore no additional factor is used.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
extrapolation from subchronic to chronic
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Allometric scaling is part of the route to route extrapolation
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
standard factor for remaining uncertainties
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
standard factor for worker
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
Study database valid and acceptable for assessment
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
The approach used for DNEL derivation is conservative. No further assessment factors are required.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
13.8 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
100
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
138 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 380 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The dermal route is typically covered by oral route information in the absence of data for this administration route. No data on skin penetration is available for the test article. However, since the test article has a molecular weight of > 500 and the log Pow is not within -1 to 4, a skin penetration of 10% can be assumed and an assessment factor of 0.1 is applied (ECHA GD chapter R7c).

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The dose response relationship is considered unremarkable, therefore no additional factor is used.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
extrapolation from subchronic to chronic
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
extrapolation from rat to human
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
standard factor for remaining uncertainties
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
standard factor for worker
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The data base quality is considered to be sufficient
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
The approach used for DNEL derivation is conservative. No further assessment factors are required.

Identification of relevant dose descriptor

For the derivation of the DNELs, the 90-Day oral toxicity study in rats was qualified as the most relevant study. The dose descriptor chosen was the NOAEL of 138 mg/kg/day.

Identification of relevant dose descriptor

The dose descriptor chosen is the same as for workers (see above). The NOAEL of 138 mg/kg observed in the 90-day repeated dose study in rat was used as starting point to derive the DNELs.
