Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Figure R.8-3 of ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health (Version 2.1; November 2012)

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Default assessment factor applied because starting point for DNEL calculation is a NOAEL
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
DNEL is based on administration of test material to the rat for 90 days (sub-chronic to chronic)
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Allometric scaling not required because differences in breathing between rat and human already accounted for during modification of starting point
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Default correction for other interspecies differences to allow for variation in toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
Default assessment factor for workers

1
Justification:
LOAEL reported, but only very minor effects seen in 1 animal at this dose so factor of 1 is applicable

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

The substance is not acutely toxic via the oral or dermal routes (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg) and oral administration of test item to rats by gavage, at dose levels of 50, 250 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day, was well tolerated in an OECD 408 90-day repeated dose oral toxicity study (NOAEL considered to be 250 mg/kg bw/day). No evidence of skin irritation/corrosion or serious eye damage/irritation was identified but the substance is classified as a skin sensitiser (1B) and an appropriate local DNEL that is equally applicable in the short term and the long term has been derived.
