General
DNEL derivation for the test item is performed under consideration of the recommendations of ECHA, Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8: Characterization of dose-response for human health (Version: 2.1, November 2012).
Inhalation
Long term, systemic DNEL – exposure via inhalation (workers)
Using a conservative approach, a worker DNEL (long-term inhalation exposure) is calculated. This worker long-term DNEL is considered to ensure also an appropriate level of protection with regard to acute inhalation exposure (no high peaks of exposure expected due to very low vapor pressure of 0.0092 Pa).
No repeated dose inhalation toxicity study with the test item is available. Therefore, long-term inhalation DNEL was derived by route-to-route extrapolation from an oral repeated dose toxicity study:
Based on an OECD TG 408 study with the test item, daily oral administration to Sprague Dawley rats revealed no adverse signs of toxicity up to the highest dose tested, i. e. 1000 mg/kg bw/d. The NOAEL for systemic toxicity was therefore considered to be >1000 mg/kg bw/day. This NOAEL is applied as Point of Departure for DNEL derivation.
Step 1: PoD: NOAEL = >1000 mg/kg bw/day
Step 2: Modification of PoD:
Standard respiratory volume, human (sRVhuman) for 8 h per person (70 kg): 6.7 m3
Standard respiratory volume of the rat (sRVrat) for 8 hours: 0.38 m3/kg bw
Worker respiratory volume (wRV) for 8 hours with light physical activity per person: 10 m3
Oral absorption of the rat/ inhalation absorption of humans (ABS oral-rat / ABS inh-human): 1/2 (default)
Correction for difference between human and experimental exposure conditions: 7 d rat/5 d worker
Corrected NOAEC (inhalation) for workers:
= 1000 mg/kg bw/day x 0.5 x 1/0.38 m3/kg bw/day x (6.7 m3/10 m3) x 1.4
= 1234.2 mg/m3
Step 3: Overall AF= 25
Intraspecies AF (worker): 5
The default value for the relatively homogenous group "worker" is used.
Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5
The recommended AF for other interspecies differences is applied.
Allometric scaling AF: 1
No allometric scalling is applied for inhalation as the inhalative data is standardized with reference to the respiratory rates. Respiratory rates depend directly on caloric demand, therefore inhalative study results are already extrapolated to humans on the basis of metabolic rate scaling (=allometric scaling).
Dose response relationship AF: 1
The dose response relationship is considered unremarkable, therefore no additional factor is used.
Exposure duration AF: 2
The exposure duration of the OECD TG 408 study performed with the test item was 90 days. The default assessment factor for extrapolation from sub-chronic to chronic exposure is 2.
Whole database AF: 1
AF for remaining uncertainties: 1
DNEL Derivation is considered conservative, reflecting reasonable worst case assumptions. Therefore, no further AF for remaining uncertainties is applied.
In conclusion, long term systemic inhalation DNEL, workers = 49.368 mg/m3
Acute, systemic DNEL- exposure via inhalation (workers)
There is no short-term or long-term toxicity study via inhalation route available for the test item. Due to its very low vapour pressure (< 1 Pa), high peak-inhalation exposure is not considered as relevant. The test item is unlikely to be available as a vapour to a large extent. Thus, the acute inhalation DNEL was not derived. Further, long-term DNELs are considered sufficient to ensure that acute effects do not occur. In addition, the test item is not classified as acutely toxic via oral or dermal route.
Long term & acute, local DNEL- exposure via inhalation (workers)
No data on respiratory irritation are available. The test item is not classified for eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore, it is not considered to pose a hazard for local effects on the mucous membranes of respiratory tract when inhaled. Further, the test item is not expected to be available as a vapour due to its very low vapour pressure. Thus, the inhalation route is not considered relevant for humans
Dermal
Long term, systemic DNEL- exposure via dermal route (workers)
No repeated dose dermal toxicity study with the test item is available. Therefore, long-term dermal DNEL was derived by route-to-route extrapolation.
The NOAEL of >1000 mg/kg bw/day derived from an OECD TG 407 study performed with the test item was used as the Point of Departure.
Step 1: PoD: NOAEL = >1000 mg/kg bw/day
Step 2: Modification into a correct starting point:
Correction
for difference between human and experimental exposure conditions: 7 d
rat/5 d worker.
There are no relevant experimental data on repeated dermal exposure. A conservative approach is used assuming identical dermal and oral absorption values even though a low dermal absorption value can be expected due to the physico- chemical properties of the test item.
Corrected NOAEL (dermal) for workers:
= 1000 mg/kg bw/day x 1.4
= 1400 mg/kg bw/day
Step 3: Overall AF= 100
Interspecies AF, allometric scaling (rat to human): 4
The default allometric scaling factor for the differences between rats and humans is applied.
Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5
The recommended AF for other interspecies differences is applied.
Intraspecies AF (worker): 5
The default value for the relatively homogenous group "worker" is used
Dose-response relationship AF: 1
The dose response relationship is considered unremarkable, therefore no additional factor is used.
Exposure
duration AF: 2
The exposure duration of the OECD TG 408 study performed with the test
item was 90 days. The default assessment factor for extrapolation from
sub-chronic to chronic exposure is 2.
Whole database AF: 1
In conclusion, long term systemic dermal DNEL, workers = 14 mg/kg bw/day
Acute, systemic DNEL- dermal exposure (workers)
An acute dermal toxicity study is available for the test item. Based on the results the test item is not classified for acute dermal toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, the acute systemic dermal DNEL was not derived. Further, long-term DNELs are considered sufficient to ensure that acute effects do not occur.
Long term & acute, local DNEL- dermal exposure (workers)
The test substance is classified for skin irritation. Therefore, appropriate qualitative risk managements measures should be implemented to avoid exposure. Thus, a qualitative risk assessment is applied and the substance is assigned to the low hazard band in accordance with ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Part E: Risk Characterisation (2016).
Hazard to the eye-local effects (worker)
The test item is not classified for eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).

Thus, the acute systemic dermal DNEL was not derived. Further, long-term DNELs are considered sufficient to ensure that acute effects do not occur.
Long term & acute, local DNEL- dermal exposure (general population)
The test substance is classified for skin irritation. Therefore, appropriate qualitative risk managements measures should be implemented to avoid exposure.
