Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information - workers

The long-term systemic DNELs for workers are based on a subchronic 45 day oral gavage study performed on Methyl laurate (CAS No.): 111-82-0, in which the oral 45 day NOAEL for rat (male) was found to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

 

45-day oral NOAEL for Fatty acids, C8-18 and C18-unsatd., Me esters (CAS No. 67762 -37 -2):

A conversion factor on molar basis of 0.74 was used (see endpoint summary repeated dose toxicity, IUCLID section 7.5).

This refers to a 45-day oral NOAELcorr for Fatty acids, C8-18 and C18-unsatd., Me esters (CAS No. 67762 -37 -2)

of 740 mg/kg bw/day.

A dermal absorption difference of 10% and a factor of 7/5 (as the substance was adminsitered 7 days/week) was used to modify the oral NOAEL to the correct starting dose descriptor NOAELcorr dermal = 10360 mg/kg bw/day.

For the dermal long term systemic worker DNEL the following AF were applied:

inter species factor 2.5, allometric scaling factor 4, intra species factor 5, exposure duration factor 2 (sub-chronic to chronic); => overall AF= 100

 

For calculating inhalation DNEL for workers, the inhalatory N(L)OAEC rat needs to be corrected for the difference between respiratory rates under standards conditions and under conditions of light activity (sRVhuman verus wRV). The route to route extrapolation from oral to inhalation was conducted according to R8 guidance document leading to a NOAECcorr inhal = 1826.6 mg/m3/d, taking a factor of 7/5 (as the substance was administered 7 days/week) into account.

For the inhalation long term systemic DNEL the following AF were applied:

inter species 2.5, intra species factor 5, exposure duration factor 2; => overall AF = 25

For the dermal long term systemic consumer DNEL the following AF were applied:

Inter species factor 2.5, allometric scaling factor 4, intra species factor 10, exposure duration factor 2 (sub-chronic to chronic); => overall AF= 200

 

For calculating inhalation DNEL for consumers, the inhalatory N(L)OAEC rat needs to be corrected.

The route to route extrapolation from oral to inhalation was conducted according to R8 guidance document leading to a NOAECcorr inhal = 643.48 mg/m3/d.

For the inhalation long term systemic DNEL the following AF were applied:

inter species 2.5, intra species factor 10, exposure duration factor 2; => overall AF = 50

 

For the oral long term systemic worker DNEL the following AF were applied:

Inter species factor 2.5, allometric scaling factor 4, intra species factor 10, exposure duration factor 2(sub-chronic to chronic); => overall AF= 200
