Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
4.17 mg/kg bw/day
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
600
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
150 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
2 500 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Starting point correction formula:

corrected dermal NOAEL = oral NOAEL x Diff. exp. cond. x (ABSoral, al / ABSderm, hu)

= 150 mg/kg bw/day x 1 x 16.67 = 2500 mg/kg bw/day

Relevant human exposure route : Dermal

ABSoral, an / ABSdermal, hu : 16.67

Experimental animal : rat

Differences experimental/human exposure conditions: 1

Bioavailability of phytantriol was assessed in a dermal penetration study with radiolabelled test item in pig skin. The amount of phytantriol in epidermis, dermis and receptor fluid (evaluated all together) after 18 h administration was between 1.0 - 5.4%, dependent on the vehicle used. For the DNEL derivation, a conservative value of 6% bioavailability was used for modification of oral to dermal result.

AF for dose response relationship:
2
Justification:
Starting result is NOAEL from OECD 422 study. An additional assessment factor of 2 was added for lower sensitivity of the OECD 422 study.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
Default AF for sub-acute studies.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
Default AF for rat.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Default AF for remaining interspecies differences.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
Default AF for workers.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
No additional AF considered necessary.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No additional AF considered necessary.

Hazard assessment conclusion:

Value:
0.185 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity

Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
300
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
150 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
55.56 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Starting point correction formula:

corrected inhalation NOAEC = oral NOAEL x 1/sRVan x Diff. exp. cond. x (ABSoral, an / ABSinh, hu)

= 150 mg/kg bw/day x 0.74 mg3 kg bw x 0.5 = 55.56 mg/m3

Relevant human exposure route : Inhalation

ABSoral, an / ABSinh, hu : 0.5

Experimental animal : rat

Standard respiratory volume, animal (sRVan) : 1.35 mg3 kg bw (24 h)

Differences experimental/human exposure conditions : 1

AF for dose response relationship:
2
Justification:
Starting result is NOAEL from OECD 422 study. An additional assessment factor of 2 was added for lower sensitivity of the OECD 422 study.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
6
Justification:
Default AF for subacute studies.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Not necessary as differences in allometry accounted for in modification of oral to inhalation starting dose.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Default AF for remaining interspecies differences.
AF for intraspecies differences:
10
Justification:
Default AF for general population
AF for the quality of the whole database:

Justification:
No additional AF considered necessary.
AF for remaining uncertainties:

Justification:
No additional AF considered necessary.

Additional information - General Population

DNELs have been assessed for the general population. However, these are for reference only. The only consumer use of the substance is in use of cosmetics and personal care products, which will be assessed under the Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC), which addresses the assessment of cosmetic products’ safety for human health.
