Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information - workers

According to ECHA guidance there is no established accepted methodology to derive no-effect-levels for acute toxicity. It is considered not only cumbersome and resource-intensive but probably unnecessary, as the long-term DNEL is normally sufficient to ensure that effects do not occur. It is proposed that a DNEL for acute toxicity should be derived if an acute toxicity hazard (leading to C&L) has been identified and there is a potential for high peak exposures. However, for a Tier 1 assessment the acute DNEL can by default be set as 1-5 x the long-term DNEL depending on the severity of the effect. Due to high acute NOAELs a factor of 5x should be applicable for DCD. According to ECHA Guidance high peak exposure is usually assessed only for the inhalation route. Acute DNELs are valid only for exposure periods up to 15 min. Extended exposure times will be covered by the long-term DNEL.

Data on skin irritation/corrosion and sensitization suggest a low hazard potential with regards to local effects.

Base for the derivation of systemic long-term DNELs is a 90 day feeding study in SD rats (Serota 1985).

Overall, a low hazard potential is concluded for DCD.
