Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
3.96 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):
50
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
225 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
198 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

In order to derive the worker DNEL (long-term, inhalation, systemic), the NOAEL = 225.0 mg/kg bw/day assessed in the OECD 422 combined repeated dose toxicity study is used.

Converting the oral NOAEL rat into an inhalatory NOAEC rat is necessary to derive the correct starting point for the inhalation route for which no long term study was carried out.

Conversion of an rat NOAELoral; rep. dosefrom oral repeated dose toxicity study into an corrected rat NOAECinhal; rep.dose (derived from examples B.3 and Figure R. 8 -3; Appendix R 8-2 of TGD “Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health”):

 

For worker:

assumptions:

ABS oral (rat) /ABS inhalation (human): 0.5 [ratio of oral absorption in the rat to inhalative absorption in the human]

 

corrected inhalatory NOAECinhal; rep. dose= oral NOAELoral; rep.dose* 1 / sRVrat * (ABSoral-rat/ABSinhal-human) * (sRVhuman / wRVhuman)

= 225 mg/kg bw * 1 / 0.38 m3/kg bw * 0.5 * (6.7 m3 / 10m3)

= 198 mg/m3

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL. Thus standard assessment factor 1 is used as described in chapter R 8.4.3.1 of TGD (ECHA, Nov. 2012).
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
4
Justification:
A assessment factor 2 is suggested by the ECHA TGD for exposure duration from subchronic (90 day) to chronic (see section R.8.4.3.1, Table R. 8-5) (ECHA, Nov 2012). As the exposure duration of females was 54 days an assessment factor of 4 is used.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
For an inhalation study already scaled according to the allometric principle, Chapter R 8.4.3.1 of ECHA REACH Guidance
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
default assessment factor for remaining interspecies differences in case for systemic effects, Chapter R 8.4.3.1 of ECHA REACH Guidance
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
default assessment factor for workers, Chapter 8.4.3.1 of ECHA REACH Guidance
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
default assessment factor for good quality of the database, Chapter 8.4.3.1 of ECHA REACH Guidance
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No further assessment factors are considered necessary.

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
1.125 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):
200
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
225 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
225 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Converting the oral NOAEL rat into a dermal NOAEL is necessary to derive the correct starting point for the dermal route for which no long term study was carried out.

As a worst case consideration dermal absorption is considered as 100%.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL. Thus standard assessment factor 1 is used as described in chapter R 8.4.3.1 of TGD (ECHA, Nov 2012).
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
4
Justification:
A assessment factor 2 is suggested by the ECHA TGD for exposure duration from subchronic (90 day) to chronic (see section R.8.4.3.1, Table R. 8-5) (ECHA, Nov 2012). As the exposure duration of females was 54 days an assessment factor of 4 is used.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
An allometric scaling factor of 4 is suggested by the ECHA TGD (see section 8.4.3.1 of TGD; ECHA, Nov 2012) for interspecies differences.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
A factor of 2.5 is suggested by the ECHA TGD (ECHA, Nov. 2012) for remaining interspecies differences.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
For intraspecies variability, the default assessment factor for worker for systemic effects is 5 (ECHA, Nov 2012).
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
Because of good/standard quality of the database the standard assessment factor 1 is used as described in chapter R.4.3.1 of TGD (ECHA, Nov 2012).
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No further assessment factors are considered to be necessary.
