Oral

Overall assessment factor (AF):

6

Dose descriptor starting point:

NOAEL

Value:

37.5 mg/kg bw/day

Modified dose descriptor starting point:

NOAEC

Value:

46.3 mg/m³

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The substance fulfils the REACH Annex VII to Annex X information requirements in accordance with ECHA guidance R7.5-7.7 (2016) for assessing long-term systemic toxicity. Since no repeated dose inhalation study is available, route-to-route extrapolation from the oral exposure route is performed. The starting point is the NOAEL from the 90-day gavage study in rats; 37.5 mg/kg bw/day.

This oral rat NOAEL is converted to an inhalation NOAEC for rats by using a default respiratory volume for the rat corresponding to 8 hours (0.38 m3/kg bw/day). A factor for route-to-route extrapolation is included based on the default absorption values (R.7.12. June 2017). The resulting rat inhalation NOAEC is converted into inhalation worker NOAEC by correction for respiratory rate based on activity (6.7 m³ for normal light activity versus 10 m³ for worker activity) and by correction for 5 day exposure (7 days exposure per week in the study versus 5 days per week for workers): 37.5 * (1/0.38) * (50/100) * (6.7/10) * (7/5) = 46.3 mg/m3

AF for dose response relationship:

1

Justification:

In accordance with ECETOC guidance on derivation of assessment factors for human health risk assessment – No. 110, no assessment factor for dose response relationship is necessary since an appropriate NOAEL, derived from a study which is of good quality and without uncertainties, is available.

AF for differences in duration of exposure:

2

Justification:

In accordance with ECETOC guidance on derivation of assessment factors for human health risk assessment – No. 110, a default assessment factor of 2 is recommended for extrapolation from sub-chronic to chronic exposure.

AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):

1

Justification:

In accordance with ECETOC guidance on derivation of assessment factors for human health risk assessment – No. 110, no assessment factor for allometric scaling needs to be applied in case of oral to inhalation route-to-route extrapolation.

AF for other interspecies differences:

1

Justification:

In accordance with ECETOC guidance on derivation of assessment factors for human health risk assessment – No. 110, the application of allometric scaling is recommended for the interspecies extrapolation from animals to humans of systemic effects, with no need for a factor for any residual interspecies variability after scaling.

AF for intraspecies differences:

3

Justification:

In accordance with ECETOC guidance on derivation of assessment factors for human health risk assessment – No. 110, a default assessment factor of 3 is recommended for the worker population.

AF for the quality of the whole database:

1

Justification:

A sub-chronic study is available, that is a Klimisch 1 study (OECD Guideline and compliant to GLP). Therefore, the quality of the whole database is good and no assessment factor for this aspect is necessary.

AF for remaining uncertainties:

1

Justification:

There were no remaining uncertainties and therefore no assessment factor for this aspect is necessary.

Value:

Value:

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The substance fulfils the REACH Annex VII to Annex X information requirements in accordance with ECHA guidance R7.5-7.7 (2016) for assessing long-term systemic toxicity. Since no repeated dose inhalation study is available, route-to-route extrapolation from the oral exposure route is performed. The starting point is the NOAEL from the 90-day gavage study in rats; 37.5 mg/kg bw/day.

No data for oral and dermal absorption is available, the default absorption factors are for both routes 50%, hence no factor for route-to-route extrapolation is included (R.7.12. June 2017). The resulting rat dermal NOAEL is corrected for 5-day exposure (7 days exposure per week in the study versus 5 days per week for workers): 37.5 * (7/5) = 52.5 mg kg bw/day.

AF for dose response relationship:
