Worker:
Based on the available data, there is no need for classification and labeling of “Reaction mass of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-sulfo-, trisodium salt, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 3-sulfo-, sodium salt (1:3), Sodium sulphate” (Produkt SPS).
The primary routes of anticipated industrial and professional exposure for “Reaction mass of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-sulfo-, trisodium salt, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 3-sulfo-, sodium salt (1:3), Sodium sulphatel” (Produkt SPS), are via inhalation and skin contact. In industrial settings, ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure, but has to be considered for the general population (see below).
Inhalation long-term exposure – systemic effects:
The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (Harlan, 2013) was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for rats.
This point of departure was modified to get the corrected starting point for DNEL derivation. As a first step, route-to-route extrapolation was performed as recommended in the "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, p. 26 f.:
The oral rat NOAEL was converted into the inhalative human NOAEC corrected for differences between the 8-hour standard inhalation volume of rats versus humans, and for differences between the 8-hour inhalation volume of workers in rest versus workers in light activity, by multiplying with the corresponding factors (x 1/0.38 m³/kg/d x 6.7 m³/10 m³). The resulting corrected starting point for inhalation DNEL derivation for workers is equal to 1763.15 mg/m³.
For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:
- Interspecies factor: 1
Besides the applied allometric scaling factors no additional interspecies factor for remaining differences has been used based on the fact that concerning inhalation, rodents like the rat are in general more sensitive compared to human as the rat's ventilation frequency is higher. Also anatomical differences as well as air flow patterns between rodents and humans have to be taken into account. Within the ERASM project, studies in rats and mice are being examined to substantiate whether the factors for allometry and 'remaining‘ differences would be appropriate for these species. The results suggest that a factor of 2.5 for 'remaining‘ interspecies differences may be questionable as a standard procedure (Escher and Mangelsdorf, 2009; Batke et al, 2011; Bitsch et al, 2006).
- Intraspecies factor: 3
There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.
- Exposure duration: 3.4 (Batke et.al., 2011)
Within the ERASM project, time-extrapolation factors were evaluated with the database RepDoseg that currently contains about 670 substances and 2200 studies on repeated-dose toxicity. It has been shown that as long as the material is soluble, the sub-acute to sub-chronic factor was 1.5, rather than 3 , the sub-acute to chronic factor was 3.4 and the sub-chronic to chronic factor was 1.4 (Batke et al, 2011). Furthermore, female rats were exposed for up to 50 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.
- Dose-response: 1
Total AF = 1 x 3 x 3.4 x 1 = 10.2
Based on this calculation the resulting DNEL is 172.85 mg/m³.
Dermal long-term exposure – systemic effects:
The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (Harlan, 2013) was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term dermal exposure. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for rats.
There is no data available indicating that dermal uptake is considerably lower than oral uptake. The oral systemic long-term NOAEL was therefore considered appropriate for derivation of a dermal systemic long-term DNEL without further correction.
For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:
- Interspecies factor: 4
Recommended for the rat in REACh Guidance document R.8 for allometric scaling
- Intraspecies factor: 3
There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.
- Exposure duration: 3.4 (Batke et.al., 2011)

Furthermore, female rats were exposed for up to 50 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.

Total AF = 4 x 3 x 3.4 x 1 x 1 = 40.8
Based on this calculation the resulting DNEL is 24.5 mg/kg bw/day.

Based on the available data, there is no need for classification and labeling of “Reaction mass of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-sulfo-, trisodium salt, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 3-sulfo-, sodium salt (1:3), Sodium sulphate” (Produkt SPS).
For the general population, all three possible routes of exposure (oral, dermal, inhalation) have to be taken into account.
Inhalation long-term exposure – systemic effects:
The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (Harlan, 2013) was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for rats.
This point of departure was modified to get the correct starting point for DNEL derivation. As a first step, route-to-route extrapolation was performed as recommended in the "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, p. 26 f.:
The oral rat NOAEL was converted into the inhalative human NOAEC corrected for differences between the 24-hour standard inhalation volume of rats versus humans by multiplying with the corresponding factor (x 1/1.15 m³/kg/d). The resulting corrected starting point for inhalation DNEL derivation for the general population is equal to 869.56 mg/m³.
For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:
- Interspecies factor: 1
Besides the applied allometric scaling factors no additional interspecies factor for remaining differences has been used based on the fact that concerning inhalation, rodents like the rat are in general more sensitive compared to human as the rat's ventilation frequency is higher.

- Intraspecies factor: 5
There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.
- Exposure duration: 3.4 (Batke et.al., 2011)
Within the ERASM project, time-extrapolation factors were evaluated with the database RepDoseg that currently contains about 670 substances and 2200 studies on repeated-dose toxicity. It has been shown that as long as the material is soluble, the sub-acute to sub-chronic factor was 1.5, rather than 3 , the sub-acute to chronic factor was 3.4 and the sub-chronic to chronic factor was 1.4 (Batke et al, 2011). Furthermore, female rats were exposed for up to 50 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.
- Dose-response: 1
Total AF = 1 x 5 x 3.4 x 1 = 17
Based on this calculation the resulting DNEL is 51.15 mg/m³.
Dermal long-term exposure – systemic effects:
The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (Harlan, 2013) was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term dermal exposure. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for rats.
There is no data available indicating that dermal uptake is considerably lower than oral uptake. The oral systemic long-term NOAEL was therefore considered appropriate for derivation of a dermal systemic long-term DNEL without further correction.
For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:
- Interspecies factor: 4
Recommended for the rat in REACh Guidance document R.8 for allometric scaling
- Intraspecies factor: 5

Furthermore, female rats were exposed for up to 50 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.
- Dose-response: 1
- Remaining differences: 1 (Escher and Mangelsdorf, 2009; Batke et al, 2010; Bitsch et al, 2006).

Total AF = 4 x 5 x 3.4 x 1 x 1 = 68
Based on this calculation the resulting DNEL is 14.7 mg/kg bw/day.
Oral long-term exposure – systemic effects:
The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (Harlan, 2013) was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term oral exposure. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for rats.
The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered appropriate as point of departure for DNEL derivation.
Subsequently, the following assessment factors are taken into account for the final DNEL calculation for the oral route: interspecies differences (4), remaining differences (1), intraspecies differences (5), exposure duration (3.4) (AF = 4 x 5 x 3.4 x 1 x 1 = 68).
As a consequence, the resulting DNEL for long-term oral local and systemic effects is 14.7 mg/kg bw/d for the general population.
For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:
- Interspecies factor: 4
Recommended for the rat in REACh Guidance document R.8 for allometric scaling
- Intraspecies factor: 5
There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.
- Exposure duration: 3.4 (Batke et.al., 2011)
