Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
16.9 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
By inhalation
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
422.1 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No effect concentration from 90-day study = 840 mg/m3.  Adjustment for daily exposure = 8 hours (workers)/6 hours (rat exposure in subchronic study).  Adjustment for respirometric volume of rat at rest vs worker undertaking light activity = 10/6.7.  Starting point is therefore: 840*(6/8)*(6.7/10) = 422.0 mg/m3

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
No adjustment made for dose response - the starting point is considered to be a true no effect level.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
Default assessment factor for extrapolation from sub-chronic (e.g. 90-day study) to chronic exposure. Refer to Table R8-5 of the ECHA guidance.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Allometric scaling already accounted for in the route-to-route extrapolation (differenced in daily exposure duration and respirometric rates already incorporated in the extrapolation from rat exposure to anticipated worker exposure).
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Default value for remaining interspecies differences. Refer to table R8-6 in the ECHA guidance.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
Default value for Intraspecies correction for workers. Refer to table R8-6 of the ECHA guidance.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
No correction made as the study from which the starting point (NOEL) was taken is considered reliable (performed according to international guidelines and in compliance with GLP).
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No remaining uncertainties identified.
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
0.448 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):
100
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
32 mg/kg bw/day
Value:
44.8 mg/kg bw/day
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

There is no data which indicates that the bioavailability or systemic absorbtion of the substance is greater by the dermal route than by the oral route (in actual fact, on the basis of the effects seen in the acute studies, absorbtion following oral exposure seems to be greater than by dermal exposure); on this basis the NOEL from the oral study is used as the starting point for the dermal DNEL, without modification.

Correction for differences between human and experimental exposure conditions (workers): 1.4

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
No adjustment made for dose-response relationship because the starting point is considered a genuine No Observed Adverse Effect Level; no clinical signs were recorded during / after dosing, and no abnormalities were reported during the post-mortem examinations.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
2
Justification:
Default assessment factor for extrapolation from sub-chronic (e.g. 90-day study) to chronic exposure.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
4
Justification:
Default Allometric Scaling factor for conversion between rats and humans. Refer to table R8-3 in the ECHA guidance.
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Default value for remaining interspecies differences. Refer to table R8-6 in the ECHA guidance.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
Default value for Intraspecies correction for workers. Refer to table R8-6 of the ECHA guidance.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
No correction made as the study from which the starting point (NOEL) was taken is considered reliable (performed according to international guidelines and in compliance with GLP).
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
No remaining uncertainties identified.
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

The substance is considered to present a low hazard for local effects following dermal or eye contact in accordance with ECHA "Guidance on information requirements and Chemical Safety Assesment, Part E: Risk Characterisation". The guidance indicates that a substance classified as Eye irritation category 2 (H319) or Skin irritation category 2 (H315) should be considered a low hazard for qualitative risk assessment.
