Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

DNELs are derived from systemic NOAELs.

Systemic effect DNELs: Based on a comparison of the different available studies the most reliable and relevant NOAEL for the derivations of a DNEL can be obtained from the studies collected in Table 21.

Local effect DNELs: In general systemic effects are more detrimental to the test organisms than local dermal reaction. Slight dermal reactions may be also reversible and therefore not adverse. As it is not possible to define clear thresholds for critical local (dermal) effects risk assessment was performed with the major focus based on adverse systemic effects.

Local effects as consequence of oral acute exposition are not considered.

Sensitisation / Irritiation DNELs: Based on the test results the substance is not classified as sensitising and not classified as irritant. Therefore there is no valid figure to derive a DNEL for these effects.

Comments about available DNELs: The derived DNELs are obtained from systemic effects, representing the most critical effect. These DNELs have been used for risk assessment.  No further DNELs have been derived due to uncertainties during derivation.

Only tests for repeated dose toxicity oral route are available. The DNELs for inhalation and dermal routes have been derived following the approach described in the Guidance R8.

Derivation of DNELs (workers)

Assessment factor where derived as follows following ECETOC Technical Report no. 110) guidance

(1)    Long-term, systemic effect, dermal (calculations)

Starting point: oral repeated dose NOAEL, systemic effects = 250 mg/kg bw/day

Assessment Factors:

Route-to-route extrapolation oral to dermal = 1

Interspecies (rat to humans) = 4

Intraspecies (worker) = 3

Exposure duration sub-acute to chronic = 6

Dose response = 1( not considered 3 as ECETOC guide based on irritation and sensitisation results)

Total AF = 72

DNEL (long-term, systemic effect, dermal) = 250 / 72 = 3.47 mg/kg bw/day

(2)    Long-term, systemic effect, inhalation (calculations)

Starting point: oral repeated dose NOAEL, systemic effects = 250 mg/kg bw/day

Corrected NOAEC (8h worker) =oral NOAEL rat 250 / AS rat 4 x bw human 70 / 8h Volume 10 = 437.5 mg / m3 / 24h 

Assessment Factors:

Route-to-route extrapolation oral to inhalation = 1 (already considered)

Interspecies (rat to humans) = 1 (already considered)

Intraspecies (worker) = 3

Exposure duration sub-acute to chronic = 6

Dose response = 1 (not considered 3 as ECETOC guide based on low volatility of the substance)

Total AF = 18

DNEL (long-term, systemic effect, inhalation) = 437.5 / 18 = 24 mg/m3
