Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicological Summary
Administrative data
Workers - Hazard via inhalation route
Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 1.85 mg/m³
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity
- Route of original study:
- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 50
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEL
- Value:
- 75 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- NOAEC
- Value:
- 92.6 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
There are no adequate experimental data on the inhalation route available. Therefore, the worker-DNEL long-term for inhalation route - systemic is derived from the NOAEL of 75 mg/kg bw/day, obtained in the Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test study in Wistar rats. The NOAECcorr. is calculated as follows:
- standard respiratory volume (rat) = 0.38 m³/kg (8h exposure)
- standard respiratory volume (human) = 6.7 m³/person (8h exposure)
- worker respiratory volume = 10 m³/person (8h exposure)
- absorption (oral, rat) = 50 % (default)
- absorption (inhalative, human) = 100 % (default)
--> modified dose descriptor (corrected inhalatory NOAEC) = oral NOAEL/0.38 x (50/100) x (6.7/10) x (7 exposure days/week; rat/5 exposure days/week; worker) = 92.6 mg/m³
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- ECHA REACH Guidance (starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL)
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 4
- Justification:
- According to the ECHA REACH Guidance an assessment factor of 6 should be used as default value for a subacute study and a factor of 2 for a sub-chronic study. The NOAEL used for hazard assessment was determined from a repeated dose study (combined with reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test) where the animals were treated continuously for a period of 66 days, which is twice as long is in a subacute study. Thus, an assessment factor of 4 is used to extrapolate from this study duration to a chronic study.
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- No allometric scaling has to be applied in case of oral to inhalation route to route extrapolation.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 2.5
- Justification:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 5
- Justification:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 1
- Justification:
- ECHA REACH Guidance (good/standard quality of the database)
- AF for remaining uncertainties:
- 1
- Justification:
- ECHA REACH Guidance

Additional information - General Population
No consumer uses were identified. The general population does not get in contact with the substance. Therefore, in accordance with the REACH legislation (regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex I, 1.4.1), no DNEL has to be derived for the general population.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
