Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
2.47 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:
25 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
61.71 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

An NOAEL of 25 mg/kg bw/day was established in the 90-day repeated dose toxicity study (oral route, OECD 408; Chase, 2022).


This dose descriptor starting point was therefore used to derive a DNEL long-term, systemic effects via the inhalation route. After route-to-route extrapolation from oral to inhalation, the modified dose descriptor starting point NOAEC is 61.71 mg/m³ = 25 mg/kg/day x 1/0.38 m³/kg/day x 0.67 x 1 x (7d/5d). The oral dose for rats was converted to the corresponding air concentration using a standard breathing volume for the rat (0.38 m³/kg for 8 hours exposure for workers). For workers, the resulting air concentration needs to be additionally corrected for the difference between basal caloric demand and caloric demand under light activity. This correction factor is derived from the inhaled volumes in 8 hours under respective conditions (6.7 m³ for base level, 10 m³ for light activity). A correction factor of 7/5 for the difference in exposure duration and frequency was added (7 days/week dosing in the animal study, 5 days/ week exposure of the workers). No additional correction factor is required as the bioavailability after both oral and inhalatory exposure is considered to be 100%.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.7 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:
25 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
70 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No long-term dermal toxicity study is available for the test substance. However, data from an oral 90-day repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 408; Chase, 2022) could be used after extrapolation to the dermal route. The NOAEL established at 25 mg/kg bw/day was therefore used to derive a DNEL long-term, systemic effects via the dermal route.


For route-to-route extrapolation (oral to dermal), a correction factor of 2 should be applied as part of the overall assessment factor, as it is assumed that bioavailability after oral exposure is 100% and after dermal exposure 50%. A correction factor of 7/5 is applied to correct for difference in exposure duration and frequency (7days/ week for the animal study, 5 days/week for the workers)  The modified NOAEL was 70mg/kg bw/d ( 25 mg/kg bw/d * 2 * (7d/5d).
