III. DNEL systemic (worker)

Basis for delineation of the DNELs systemic:

In a OECD Guideline 422 (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) three groups of ten male and ten female rats received m-phenylene di(acetate), initially at doses of 100, 330 or 1000 mg/kg/day, by oral gavage administration. From Day 5, Group 4 received m-phenylene di(acetate) at a dose level of 500 mg/kg/day due to four animals being sacrificed for welfare reasons on Day 4 of treatment. Males were treated daily for two weeks before pairing, up to necropsy after a minimum of five consecutive weeks. Females were treated daily for two weeks before pairing, throughout pairing, gestation and until Day 13 of lactation. Females were allowed to litter, rear their offspring and were killed on Day 14 of lactation.

In summary, under the conditions described the no-observed-adverse effect level (NOAEL) for oral administration of m-phenylene di(acetate) by oral gavage to male and female rats was at the dose of 330 mg/kg bw/day in males and in females. Overall, four animals (two males and two females) given 1000 mg/kg/day were killed for welfare reasons on Day 4 of treatment because of the occurrence of continuous convulsions. The cause of death of these animals was undermined, but was considered likely to be related to treatment due to the occurrence in the high dose group.

The hematological examination of blood and the biochemical examination of plasma did not reveal any effect of treatment and there was no effect upon circulating levels of thyroxine (T4) in adult males. The incidence and distribution of all macroscopic and histopathological findings were considered to be unrelated to treatment.

Long-term toxicity – systemic effects (worker)

Long-term inhalation route – systemic effects (worker) using extrapolation factors:

NOAEL(oral) = 330 mg/kg bw/day (7 days a week) =  462 mg/kg bw/day (5 days a week)

Correction of the starting point according ECHA Guidance Chapter R.8:

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = Oral NOAEL (462 mg/kg) x 1/0.38 m³/kg x 6.7 m³/10m³ x 0.5

=> NOAEC worker = 497.28 mg/m³

Short-term toxicity (inhalation) – systemic effects (worker)

In the key study for oral toxicity a LD50 = 4010 mg/kg bw was found. The key study for acute dermal toxicity revealed a discriminating dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is therefore not justified.

Therefore:

Worker DNEL short-term for inhalation exposure: no hazard identified

Long-term oral and dermal route systemic effects (worker)

NOAEL(oral) = NOAEL(dermal) = 462 mg/kg bw/day

On the assumption that, in general, dermal absorption will not be higher than oral absorption, no default factor (i.e. factor 1) is used for oral-to-dermal extrapolation.

Reproductive Toxicity – systemic effects (worker)

OECD Guideline 422 (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / three groups of ten male and ten female rats received m-phenylene di(acetate), initially at doses of 100, 330 or 1000 mg/kg/day, by oral gavage administration. From Day 5, Group 4 received m-phenylene di(acetate) at a dose level of 500 mg/kg/day due to four animals being sacrificed for welfare reasons on Day 4 of treatment. Males were treated daily for two weeks before pairing, up to necropsy after a minimum of five consecutive weeks. Females were treated daily for two weeks before pairing, throughout pairing, gestation and until Day 13 of lactation. Females were allowed to litter, rear their offspring and were killed on Day 14 of lactation.

The clinical condition, litter size, sex ratio, survival indices and body weight gain of offspring

were unaffected by parental treatment.

There was no effect of parental treatment upon circulating levels of thyroxine (T4) in

offspring on Day 13 of age.

The ano-gential distances of offspring were unaffected by paternal treatment and no nipples

were seen on any male offspring on Day 13 of age.

No macroscopic findings considered to be related to paternal treatment were recorded.

The no-observed adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of m-phenylene di(acetate) for systemic toxicity

was considered to be 330 mg/kg/day and the no-observed adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of

Resorcinol diacetate for reproductive/developmental toxicity was considered to be 1000/500 mg/kg/day.

In conclusion, no separate DNEL for toxicity to reproduction is required for phenylene di(acetate), as the NOAEL for toxicity to reproduction is higher than for repeated-dose toxicity.

VII. DNEL local (worker)

Basis for delineation of the DNELs local (long and short term toxicity):

Irritation/corrosion

Skin irritation:

500 mg Cohedur RK (= m-phenylene di(acetate)) were semiocclusively applied once to the intact skin (ear) of two young adult New Zealand white rabbits (3.0–4.0 kg) for an exposure period of 24 hours. Evaluation of skin irritation was made until day 7 according to Draize. Erythema and edema score was 0 at 24/48/72 hours.

In an additional in vitro skin irritation test using a human skin model, Resorcinol diacetate was non-irritant.

According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification is not justified.

Eye irritation:

A dose of 50 mg Chohedur RK (= m-phenylene di(acetate)) was administered into one eye of two young adult New Zealand white rabbits (3–4 kg). The eyes were examined and the grade of ocular reaction was recorded until day 7 post administration according to Draize. The cornea score was 2.66, the iris score was 0.83 and the conjunctivae and chemosis score were 2.33 and 1.33, respectively. All effects were reversible within 7 days. According to CLP classification criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) a classification as Eye Irrit. 2 ( H319: Causes serious eye irritation) is justified.

Sensitization

The results of the LLNA show that the test substance elicits a SI ≥ 3. An estimated EC3 value of 21.0% was calculated.

According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments), Resorcinol diacetate should be classified as skin

sensitizer (Category 1B) and labeled as H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction.

Conclusion on local DNEL:

For local effects:

Low hazard band for Eye Irrit. 2 ( H319: Causes serious eye irritation).

Medium hazard band for Skin sensitizer (Category 1B) (H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction).
