- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
There are no relevant experimental data on repeated exposure by inhalation. A conservative approach is used assuming a two times higher absorption via the inhalation route (end route) as compared to the oral route (starting route).
- AF for dose response relationship:

- Justification:
- extrapolation from sub-acute to chronic
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- 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).

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
There are no relevant experimental data on repeated dermal exposure. Based on physicochemical data dermal absorption is possible. According to “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment chapter R7c: Endpoint specific Guidance”, especially water solubility is high enough to enable dermal penetration. The log Pow lies in the range between -1 and 4 (log Pow 3.72). The molecular weight of the substance is above 100 g/mol (MW 244 g/mol). Penetration through skin is anticipated to be less extensive than oral absorption and an absorption rate of 40 % of oral absorption was taken for calculation.

General
DNEL derivation for the test substance is performed under consideration of the recommendations of ECHA. In view of the data used for evaluation, the "quality of whole database factors" and "dose-response factors" are considered to amount each to a value of 1, and are thus not shown in the calculations presented below.
Workers – Hazard via inhalation route
Long term systemic inhalation DNEL, worker
The DNEL long term, systemic (inhalation) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study.
Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):
The repeated dose oral toxicity study OECD 407 is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral systemic NOAEL is 150 mg/kg bw/day.
Step 2: Modification into a correct starting point:
Using a conservative approach, a worker DNEL (long term inhalation exposure) is derived considering a two times higher absorption via inhalation than oral absorption.
Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 150 mg/kg bw/day
Standard respiratory volume of the rat (sRVrat) for 8 hours: 0.38 m³/kg bw/d
Oral absorption of the rat / inhalation absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human): 0.5
Standard respiratory volume of humans (sRVhuman) for 8 hours: 6.7 m³
Worker respiratory volume (wRV) for 8 hours with light physical activity: 10 m³
Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week
Frequency of worker exposure: 5 days/week
Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for workers
= 150 mg/kg bw/day* 0.5 * (1 / 0.38 m³/kg bw/day) * (6.7 m³/10 m³) * (7/5)
= 185.13 mg/m³
Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 75
Interspecies: no allometric scaling factor is applied because an oral-to-inhalation route extrapolation is performed.
Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5
Intraspecies AF (worker): 5
Exposure duration AF: 6
Remaining uncertainties AF: 1
In conclusion, long term systemic inhalation DNEL, workers = 2.46 mg/m3
Short term systemic inhalation DNEL, worker
No data for the classification and labelling of the test substance for acute systemic toxicity (inhalation) is available. The substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity and acute dermal toxicity, therefore no adverse result for inhalation toxicity is expected (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8). Thus, no DNEL is required.
Short and long term local inhalation DNEL, worker
No data on respiratory irritation is available. However, the test substance is not classified for eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). This implies that no potential damage to mucosal tissue may occur by an inhalation exposure.
Workers – Hazard via dermal route
Long term systemic dermal DNEL, worker
The DNEL long term, systemic (dermal) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study (OECD 407).
Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):
The repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 407) is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral NOAEL is 150 mg/kg bw/day.
Step 2: Modification of the starting point:
There are no relevant experimental data on repeated dermal exposure. Based on physicochemical data dermal absorption is possible. According to “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment chapter R7c: Endpoint specific Guidance”, especially water solubility is high enough to enable dermal penetration. The log Pow lies in the range between -1 and 4 (log Pow 3.72). The molecular weight of the substance is above 100 g/mol (MW 258 g/mol). Penetration through skin is anticipated to be less extensive than oral absorption and an absorption rate of 40 % of oral absorption was taken for calculation.
Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 150 mg/kg bw/day
Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week
Frequency of worker exposure: 5 days/week
Oral absorption of the rat / dermal absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human): 100/40
Corrected dermal NOAEL for workers
150 mg/kg bw/day * (100%/40%) * (7/5) = 525 mg/kg bw/day
Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 300
Interspecies AF, allometric scaling (rat to human): 4
Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5
Intraspecies AF (worker): 5
Exposure duration AF: 6
Remaining uncertainties AF: 1
In conclusion, long term systemic dermal DNEL, workers = 1.75 mg/kg bw/day
Short term systemic dermal DNEL, worker
The test material is not classified and labelled for acute dermal toxicity, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no DNEL is required.
Long term and short term local dermal DNEL, worker
The test item is not classified for skin sensitization or skin irritation/corrosion according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no qualitative risk assessment has to be conducted.

With regard to consumer exposure the substance under concern is used only in cosmetic products. Therefore, the derivation of DNELs, assessment of exposure and risk characterization are not required (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, ECHA-2010 -G-19 -EN). Furthermore, no indirect exposure assessment is necessary in accordance to ECHA guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Chapter R.16: Environmental exposure assessment, Version 3.0, February 2016, ECHA-16 -G-03 -EN.
