General

DNEL derivation for the test substance is performed under consideration of the recommendations of ECHA. In view of the data used for evaluation, the "quality of whole database factors" and "dose-response factors" are considered to amount each to a value of 1, and are thus not shown in the calculations presented below.

 

Workers – Hazard via inhalation route

 

Long term systemic inhalation DNEL, worker

The DNEL long term, systemic (inhalation) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study.

 

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose oral toxicity study OECD 422 is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral systemic NOAEL is 60 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification into a correct starting point:

Using a conservative approach, a worker DNEL (long term inhalation exposure) is derived considering a two times higher absorption via inhalation than oral absorption.

 

Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 60 mg/kg bw/day

Standard respiratory volume of the rat (sRVrat) for 8 hours: 0.38 m³/kg bw/d

Oral absorption of the rat / inhalation absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human): 0.5

Standard respiratory volume of humans (sRVhuman) for 8 hours: 6.7 m³

Worker respiratory volume (wRV) for 8 hours with light physical activity: 10 m³

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of worker exposure: 5 days/week

 

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for workers

= 60 mg/kg bw/day× 0.5 × (1 / 0.38 m³/kg bw/day) × (6.7 m³/10 m³) x (7/5)

= 74.05 mg/m³

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 50

Interspecies: no allometric scaling factor is applied because an oral-to-inhalation route extrapolation is performed.

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (worker): 5

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic inhalation DNEL, workers = 1.481 mg/m3

 

Short term systemic inhalation DNEL, worker

The test material is not classified and labelled for acute systemic toxicity (inhalation), according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no DNEL is required.

 

Short and long term local inhalation DNEL, worker

No data on long term local toxicity after inhalation is available. Data on acute local toxicity after inhalation is available and showed no specific local effects. The substance is not classified for acute inhalation, therefore no adverse effects on the respiratory system are expected (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8). Thus, no DNEL local, long term and acute (inhalation) is required. In addition DNEL for local effects does also not need to be derived as no eye irritation (leading to classification) and in conclusion no indication of local mucosal membrane damages has been identified (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8).

 

Workers – Hazard via dermal route

Long term systemic dermal DNEL, worker

The DNEL long term, systemic (dermal) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study (OECD 422).

 

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 422) is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral NOAEL is 60 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification of the starting point:

The test substance was determined to have a logPow of approx. 6, water solubility of 0.27 mg/L and a molecular weight above 100 g/mol. Therefore the dermal uptake compared to oral uptake is considered to be 50 % of the oral uptake in the worst case.

Factor for dermal NOAEL= 100 % oral / 50 % dermal= 2

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of worker exposure: 5 days/week

 

oral NOAEL 60 mg/kg bw/day * 2 * (7/5) = 168 mg/kg bw/day dermal NOAEL

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 200

Interspecies AF, allometric scaling (rat to human): 4

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (worker): 5

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic dermal DNEL, workers = 0.84 mg/kg bw/day

 

Short term systemic dermal DNEL, worker

The test material is not classified and labelled for acute dermal toxicity, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no DNEL is required.

 

Long term local dermal DNEL, worker

The test item is classified as a skin sensitizer, cat. 1B according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, a qualitative risk assessment is conducted (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", Part E).

 

Short term local dermal DNEL, worker

Local dermal effects are covered by the long term local risk assessment and no quantitative acute local dermal assessment is required (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", Part E).

 

Worker – Hazard for the eyes

The test item is not classified for eye irritation or severe eye damage according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no qualitative risk assessment is required.

General population – Hazard via inhalation route

Long term systemic inhalation DNEL, General population

The DNEL long term, systemic (inhalation) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study.

 

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose oral toxicity study (OECD 422) is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral NOAEL is 60 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification into a correct starting point:

Using a conservative approach, a general population DNEL (long term inhalation exposure) is derived considering a two times higher absorption via inhalation than oral absorption.

 

Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 60 mg/kg bw/day

Standard respiratory volume of the rat (sRVrat) for 24 hours: 1.35 m³/kg bw/d

Oral absorption of the rat / inhalation absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human): 0.5

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of general population exposure: 7 days/week

 

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for general population

= 60 mg/kg bw/day× 0.5 × (1 / 1.35 m³/kg bw/day) x (7/7)

= 22.22 mg/m³

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 100

Interspecies: no allometric scaling factor is applied because an oral-to-inhalation route extrapolation is performed.

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (general population): 10

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic inhalation DNEL, general population = 0.2222 mg/m3

 

Short term systemic inhalation DNEL, General population

The test material is not classified and labelled for acute systemic toxicity (inhalation), according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no DNEL is required.

 

Short and long term local inhalation DNEL, General population

No data on long term local toxicity after inhalation is available. Data on acute local toxicity after inhalation is available and showed no specific local effects. The substance is not classified for acute inhalation, therefore no adverse effects on the respiratory system are expected (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8). Thus, no DNEL local, long term and acute (inhalation) is required. In addition DNEL for local effects does also not need to be derived as no eye irritation (leading to classification) and in conclusion no indication of local mucosal membrane damages has been identified (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8).

 

General population – Hazard via dermal route

Long term systemic dermal DNEL, General population

The DNEL long term, systemic (dermal) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study.

 

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 422) is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral NOAEL is 60 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification of the starting point:

The test substance was determined to have a logPow of approx. 6, water solubility of 0.27 mg/L and a molecular weight above 100 g/mol. Therefore the dermal uptake is considered to be 50 % of the oral uptake in the worst case.

Factor for dermal NOAEL= 100 % oral / 50 % dermal= 2

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of general population exposure: 7 days/week

oral NOAEL 60 mg/kg bw/day * 2 * (7/7) = 120 mg/kg bw/day dermal NOAEL

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 400

Interspecies AF, allometric scaling (rat to human): 4

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (general population): 10

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic dermal DNEL, general population = 0.3 mg/kg bw/day

 

Short term systemic dermal DNEL, General population

The test material is not classified and labelled for acute dermal toxicity, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no DNEL is required.

 

Long term local dermal DNEL, General population

The test item is classified as a skin sensitizer, cat. 1B according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, a qualitative risk assessment is conducted (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", Part E).

 

Short term local dermal DNEL, General population

Local dermal effects are covered by the long term local risk assessment and no quantitative acute local dermal assessment is required (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", Part E).

 

 

General population – Hazard via oral route

Long term systemic oral DNEL, General population

The DNEL long term, systemic (oral) is derived from the combined repeated dose oral toxicity study (OECD 422).

 

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 422) is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral NOAEL is 60 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification of the starting point:

No modification is used as the same exposure route is considered.

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 400

Interspecies AF, allometric scaling (rat to human): 4

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (general population): 10

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic oral DNEL, general population = 0.15 mg/kg bw/day

 

Short term systemic oral DNEL, General population

The test item is not classified for acute oral toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no qualitative risk assessment is required. 

 

General population – Hazard for the eyes

The test item is not classified for eye irritation or severe eye damage according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no qualitative risk assessment is required.
