DNEL acute

A DNELacuteshould be established for substances if an acute hazard toxicity (leading to C&L) has been identified and a potential for high peak exposures exists.

RRR-(alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta)-tocopherol does not have to be labelled for acute toxicity and therefore, a derivation of a DNELacuteis not necessary.

 

DNEL long-term systemic

RRR-(alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta)-tocopherol isnot classified for any endpoint related to systemic toxicity.

For the DNEL-derivation a NOAEL of 500 mg/kg bw was used derived from the 90-day repeated dose oral, basedon hemorrhagic diathesis in males and females (an increase in APTT, PT and fibrinogen at 2000 mg/kg).

The dermal DNELfor long-term exposure - systemic effects for workers is derived as follows:

The dermal DNELfor long term exposure - local effects for workers should be established for substances if a local toxicity (leading to C&L) has been identified and a potential for long term risks exists. RRR-(alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta)-tocopherol does not have to be labelled for local toxicity, including irritation and skin sensitisation and therefore, a derivation of a DNELacute is not necessary.
