Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 2.35 mg/m³
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity
- Route of original study:
- Dermal
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 25
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 66.7 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 58.7 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
The NOAEL from the repeated dose dermal study was converted to an inhalatory NOAEC according to the following formula. NOAEC = NOAEL / resp. volume (rat) x (resp. volume (human) / resp. volume (human, light activity)) x (absorption (oral) / absorption (inhal.)) = 66.7 mg/kg b.w. / 0.38m³/kg b.w. x 0.67 x 0.5 = 58.7 mg/m³
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- NOAEL was used as starting point
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 2
- Justification:
- Default factor for subchronic to chronic
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- Already considered during route to route extrapolation.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 2.5
- Justification:
- Default factor
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 5
- Justification:
- Default factor for worker
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 1
- Justification:
- GLP guideline study
- AF for remaining uncertainties:
- 1
- Justification:
- Default factor

Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 1.7 mg/kg bw/day
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity
- Route of original study:
- Dermal
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 40
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 66.7 mg/kg bw/day
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- NOAEL used as starting point
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 2
- Justification:
- subchronic to chronic
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 4
- Justification:
- This factor describes the differences in metabolic rate between rats and humans based on body weight and is generally applicable to renally excreted substances.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 1
- Justification:
- The NOAEL is based on the unspecific finding of reduced body weight gain in males only. No further parameters were affected. There was no specific specific organ toxicity / receptor involvement and males were only affected part of the time, while there was no change in females. Since the relevance of this change is questionable, the NOAEL is considered to be sufficiently conservative that no additional safety factor is required. Additionally, no influence of toxicodynamic differences is expected on this parameter.
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 5
- Justification:
- Default factor
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 1
- Justification:
- Well documented study comparable to OECD guideline
- AF for remaining uncertainties:
- 1
- Justification:
- Default factor

Additional information - General Population
Since the substance is used at industrial and professional domains, no exposure of the general population to is expected. Therefore, no DNELs for the general population were calculated. All consumer are advised against.
