Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
DNEL related information

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.073 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
30
Dose descriptor:
LOAEC
Value:
2.2 mg/m³
AF for dose response relationship:
10
Justification:
An assessment factor of 10 is assumed to be sufficient as corrosive properties are usually steep effects.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
1
Justification:
A factor of 1 is used, because for local effects in the respiratory tract there is no substancial difference in LOAEC following acute and subacute exposure by inhalation; ECHA Guidance R8 Chapter 8.4.3.1.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
No factor for allometric scaling is needed in case of inhalation exposure. Furthermore, the factor for remaining uncertainties is not needed as the rat is a more sensitive species for inhalation exposure and an obligatory nose breather and as the rat’s ventilation frequency is higher
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
No factor for other interspecies differencs was given, because the local effect in the respiratory tract is not triggered by other toxikokinetic or toxikodynamic differences.
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
Using a reduced factor of 3 is justified because the critical effect is a local effect that is hardly, if at all, determined by toxicodynamics and kinetics. Absorption,distribution and elimination play no or only a minor role. Local effects are largely concentration-dependent whereas exposure time and enzyme polymorphisms are of minor importance in such cases.Due to the fact that the local effects are driven by local exposure peaks and are not supposed to worsen with time and considering the rat is over-predictive in this case, a joint assessment factor of 3 is applied for intraspecies differences and exposure duration correction.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The data are based on a good/standard quality database, which is complete, consistent contains standard information.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
There are no other differences between species to be considered for the observed local effects in the respiratory tract.

Additional information - workers

Derivation of corrected starting points, overall assessment factors and DNEL´s for workers: Oral exposure for workers is not considered to be a relevant exposure pathway. Hence DNEL´s for oral exposure of workers are not derived.


Because of the corrosive and skin sensitizing properties of the substance, derivation of DNELs is not possible for local effects after dermal exposure. Therefore, a qualitative assessment is needed for local dermal exposure (high hazard).


As the substance is corrosive and sensitizing the caustic properties represent the primary effect. Thus, derivation of an inhalation DNEL after long-term inhalation exposure is not warranted because the local effects occur already at lower concentrations than systemic effects. All workers have to protect themselves by wearing protective clothes. Systemic exposure is not relevant.

General Population - Hazard via oral route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.3 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):
200
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
59 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
59 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

Based on a EOGRTS study in rats (NOAEL = 80 mg/kg bw/day) assuming a worst case 100% dermal absorption.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
Starting point is a NOAEL. Thus standard assessment factor 1 is used as described in chapter R 8.4.3.1 of TGD
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
An assessment factor 2 is suggested by the ECHA TGD for exposure duration from subchronic (90 day) to chronic (see section R.8.4.3.1, Table R. 8-5) (ECHA, Nov 2012).
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
An allometric scaling factor of 4 is suggested by the ECHA TGD (see section 8.4.3.1 of TGD; ECHA, Nov 2012) for interspecies differences.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
A factor 2.5 is suggested by the ECHA TGD for remaining interspecies differences (ECHA, Nov 2012)
AF for intraspecies differences:
10
Justification:
For intraspecies variability, the default assessment factor for general population for systemic effects is 10 (ECHA, Nov 2012).
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
Because of good/standard quality of the database the standard assessment factor 1 is used as described in chapter R 8.4.3.1 of TGD
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No further assessment factors are considered to be necessary.

Additional information - General Population

The use of the substance isophorone diamine is restricted only to industrial and professional applications. Hence there is no need to derive DNEL´s for general population (consumers).


An indirect exposure of man via the environment might occur through ingestion of foodstuff or drinking water. Therefore, a systemic oral long-term DNEL for general population is derived and will be used to assess any possible risk that could result from indirect exposure of man via the environment.


As a worst case assumption an absorption rate of 100% is assumed by ingestion of the compound.
