Systemic effects

- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 3.526 mg/m³

- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 75
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 264.47 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
While no inhalation exposure anticipated, it is possible to derive systemic NOAEC for this route using default assumptions and the oral data to extrapolate, as per ECHA guidance ("Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment; Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health.). Therefore the long-term inhalation DNEL for systemic effects has been extrapolated from the oral NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day obtained in the OECD 407 study.
Based on the toxicokinetic assessment, and a conservative assumption that a low oral absorption is expected, 50% oral absorption has been assumed for the purposes of risk assessment. In the absence of any quantitative data, and as a worst-case assumption, for risk assessment purposes absorption by inhalation of the Substance is assumed to be 100%.
The modified dose descriptor has been calculated as follows:
NOAECcorr = NOAELoral*(1/0.38 m³/kg bw/day)*(ABSoral-rat/ABSinh-human)*(6.7 m³ (8h)/10 m³ (8h)).
NOAECcor = 300 x 1/0.38 x 0.5 [50% oral absorption rat / 100% inhalation absorption human] x 6.7/10
- AF for dose response relationship:

- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 600 mg/kg bw/day
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Based on the toxicokinetic assessment, low oral absorption is expected therefore, 50% oral absorption is assumed for the purposes of risk assessment. The registered Substance is likely to exhibit limited absorption profile following dermal exposure based on the physiochemical characteristics. Therefore, in line with latest EC guidance on dermal absorption (EFSA Guidance, 2012), 25% dermal absorption will be used for risk assessment purposes.
The long-term dermal DNEL for systemic effects has been extrapolated from the oral NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day obtained in the OECD 407 study.
The modified dose descriptor is calculated as follows:
NOAECcorr = NOAELoral*(ABSoral-rat/ABSdermal-human)
NOAECcorr = 300 x 2 [oral absorption rat 50%/dermal absorption human 25%]
- AF for dose response relationship:

- Reliable study, good quality database. Default value in accordance with ECHA guidance- Chapter R.8
Acute/short term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- no hazard identified
DNEL related information
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
- ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.8, Appendix R.8-8 on Acute Toxicity states that a DNEL for acute toxicity is only necessary if "an acute toxicity hazard (leading to C&L) has been identified and there is a potential for high peak exposures". No acute toxicity hazard has been identified for the substance and, thus, no acute hazard classification is proposed. Consequently, in accordance with the ECHA guidance, an acute DN(M)EL is not required.
Local effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- high hazard (no threshold derived)
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- sensitisation (skin)
Acute/short term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- high hazard (no threshold derived)
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- sensitisation (skin)
Workers - Hazard for the eyes
Local effects
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- low hazard (no threshold derived)
Additional information - workers
In accordance with ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.8, Appendix R.8-8, DNELs for systemic acute effects have not been derived as no acute adverse effects had been observed in any of the available acute oral and dermal toxicity studies. The Substance is classified as a skin sensitiser, Category 1 and eye irritant, Category 2 therefore hazards related to local dermal and eye effects have also been considered. No inhalation data are available, inhalation DNELs for long term systemic exposure have been derived using extrapolation from the repeated dose oral study, however it should be noted that inhalation is not considered a relevant route of exposure given the physical-chemical properties of the material and its use pattern, both of which will mean exposure by the inhalation route will be negligible. A long-term dermal DNEL for systemic effects in workers of 1 mg/kg bw/day is proposed based on the repeated dose oral toxicity study in rats in which a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw/day was identified.

DNEL related information
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
No dermal systemic toxicity hazards have been identified. The physico-chemical properties of the substances confirm that there is negligible potential for dermal exposure of the substance. Additionally, the registration Substance is only used in industrial and professional settings, there are no consumer uses and therefore no potential for exposure to the general population. Therefore no DNELs have been calculated and no risk characterization to the general population will be included as part of the chemical safety assessment.

- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 300 mg/kg bw/day
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Based on the use of the Substance and the physico-chemical properties of the substances confirm that there is negligible potential for oral exposure of the substance. Additionally, the registration Substance is only used in industrial and professional settings, there are no consumer uses and therefore there is unlikely exposure to the general population via use of any product containing this Substance. Although there is unlikely exposure to man via the environment, a long term oral DNEL has been derived to demonstrate negligible risk.
There is no modification to the dose descriptor starting point there is no data that indicated that there is a difference in oral absorption between rats and humans. Therefore it is considered to be the same.

Additional information - General Population
The registration Substance is only used in industrial and professional settings, there are no consumer uses. Additionally, based on the use of the Substance and the physico-chemical properties of the Substance there is unlikely exposure to the general population via use of any product containing this Substance. Therefore direct exposure to the general population via the lungs, skin, mouth and/or eyes are not expected therefore no hazard is expected. Although there is unlikely exposure to man via the environment, a long term oral DNEL has been derived to demonstrate negligible risk for completeness.
