- Value:
- 262.5 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.8.4.2) prescribes a default factor of 2 in case of oral to inhalation extrapolation. Standard respiratory volume of a rat, corrected for 8 h exposure, as proposed in the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.8.4.2) is considered to be 0.4 m³/kg bw. Correction for activity driven differences of respiratory volumes in workers compared to workers in rest was considered to be 6.7 m³/10 m³. Therefore the modified dose descriptor starting point is 262.5 mg/m³ (= 300 / 2 / 0.4 x (7/10)).

- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Based on the exposure model from AG Textilien des Bundesinstituts für Risikobewertung (BfR), the dermal penetration rate for dyes through the skin was found to be less than 2 %. Therefore, a factor of 25 was taken into consideration as worst case for the oral to dermal route-to-route extrapolation. Therefore the modified dose descriptor starting point is 7500 mg/kg bw/da

According to the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, a leading DN(M)EL needs to be derived for every relevant human population and every relevant route, duration and frequency of exposure, if feasible.
Short-term toxicity: According to the REACH guideline (R8, Appendix R 8-8), 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 risk for high peak exposures. While an acute oral toxicity classification is derived, there is no potential for high peak exposure. Further the substance is not classified for acute dermal or inhalation toxicity and therefore no short-term DNELs needs to be derived for these routes of exposure. The substance is also not classified as irritating or sensitizing to the skin and therefore no derivation of the DNEL for local dermal effects needs to be derived. No data is available whether the test substance could cause irritation to the respiratory tract and therefore no DNEL could be derived.
Long-term toxicity: A subacute (28-days) oral toxicity study is available in rats. Systemic toxicity was observed at 1000 mg/kg/day in the form of generalized stress response resulting in a NOAEL of 300 mg/kg/day. Since only a sub-acute oral toxicity study is available a route-to-route extrapolation is needed to derive the DNELs for dermal and inhalation route. According to Chapter R.8 of REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, it is proposed in the absence of route-specific information on the starting route, to include a default factor of 2 in the case of oral-to-inhalation extrapolation. This approach will be taken forward to DNEL derivation.The low log Pow (<-1) value suggests that the substance may be too hydrophilic to cross the lipid rich environment of the stratum corneum. Based on the exposure model from AG Textilien des Bundesinstituts für Risikobewertung (BfR), the dermal penetration rate for dyes through the skin was found to be less than 2%. Therefore, a factor of 25 was taken into consideration as worst case for the oral to dermal route-to-route extrapolation.

- Overall assessment factor (AF):

- Value:
- 130.4 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.8.4.2) prescribes a default factor of 2 in case of oral to inhalation extrapolation. Standard respiratory volume of a rat, corrected for 24 h exposure, as proposed in the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (R.8.4.2) is considered to be 1.15 m³/kg bw. Therefore the modified dose descriptor starting point is 130.4 m³/kg bw (= 300 / 2 / 1.15 ).
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 6
- Justification:
- Extrapolation to chronic exposure based on a sub-acute toxicity study
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 2.5
- Justification:
- For inhalation studies only a factor 2.5 is used, and no correction is made for differences in body size, because extrapolation is based on toxicological equivalence of a concentration of a chemical in the air of experimental animals and humans; animals and humans breathe at a rate depending on their caloric requirements.
- AF for intraspecies differences:

Therefore, a factor of 25 was taken into consideration as worst case for the oral to dermal route to route extrapolation. Therefore the modified dose descriptor starting point is 7500 mg/kg bw/da
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 6
- Justification:
- Based on low log Kow and very high water solubility, dermal absorption is expected to be low. A ratio of 0.1 % for dermal to oral absorption is therefore provisionally suggested for DNEL derivation
