Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information - workers

No DNEL is required for oral exposure of workers since no significant exposure occurs by this route for trained workers (who do not smoke, eat or drink when manipulating chemicals).

No DNELs are required for acute toxic effects, sensitization, irritation and mutagenic effects because the substance does not possess these properties and long-term DNELs are sufficient to cover systemic effects, as a worst-case. Furthermore most of these DNELs can not be calculated with the available qualitative or single-dose data.

No additional assessment factor for route-to-route extrapolation has been used when deriving dermal and inhalation DNELs from data obtained in oral studies. Indeed, the dermal absorption by oral route is considered to be at least as high as absorption by dermal and respiratory routes (2 routes by which absorption is expected to be virtually null). The oral route is therefore an extreme worst-case situation in terms of absorption and the DNELs derived from oral data can be considered as being very conservative.

For the long-term exposure, the dermal DNEL and inhalation DNEL are extrapolated from oral route according to the NOAEL = 1000 mg/kg bw/day obtained from the reproductive toxicity/fertility impairment.

For the inhalation route, NOAELextrapolated = NOAELoral/breathing volume of 0.38 m3/kg bw over 8 hours X 6.7 m3/10 m3 due to physical activity of workers.

For the dermal route, an assessment factor of 900 is applied and is justified as followed:

- interspecies, allometric scaling factor = 4

- interspecies, remaining differences= 2.5

- Exposure duration subacute (28 days) to chronic = 6 (the absence of increase in toxicity with longer treatment duration may be due to unreached toxic level).

- reliability of the dose-response data = 1 (NOAELs availables, no severe effect)

- quality of the complete endpoint-specific database = 3 for the effects on fertility (screening test, no pairing of animals).

For the inhalation route, an assessment factor of 225 is applied and is justified as followed:

- interspecies, allometric scaling factor = 1 (scaling included in corrected dose descriptor)

- interspecies, remaining differences= 2.5

- Exposure duration subacute (28 days) to chronic = 6 (the absence of increase in toxicity with longer treatment duration may be due to unreached toxic level).

- reliability of the dose-response data = 1 (NOAELs availables, no severe effect)

- quality of the complete endpoint-specific database = 3 for the effects on fertility (screening test, no pairing of animals).

No assessment and notably no DNEL is required for the general public, as the latter is only exposed to the substances via the use of final cosmetic products.

Assessment of human health effects for such exposure is not required for REACH regulation.
