Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on a comparison of the different available studies the most reliable and relevant NOAEL for the derivations of a DNEL can be obtained from the following studies:

 

Most sensitive record for systemic effects is:

- Subacute Toxicity Study 28days, oral, rat, OECD 422, up to 400mg/kg bw/day tested: Result LOAEL >= 50mg/kg bw/d (BASF SE, 2013, 85R0674/12X380).

 

As no lower concentration was tested the LOAEL reflects only a low dosage at which a effect can be observed. Nevertheless

further assessment factors are applied to address the possible lower NOAEL. For this a assessment factor 10 is chosen as the observed effects even in the lowest dose were present in some animals, but a clear dose response was observed (leading effect cardiomyophaty).

 

Most sensitive record for local effects:

- Skin irritation, Rabbit, 4h, OECD 404, RA from CAS 1116-76-3: severe reaction, skin irritant Cat. 2 (BASF SE, 1988, 18H0264/882108)

- Eye irritation, Rabbit, OECD 405, RA from CAS 1116-76-3: slight to mild signs, eye irritant Cat 2 (BASF SE, 1988, 11H0264/882109)

- Skin sensitisation, in vivo, guinea pig, Bühler, OECD 406: negative (BASF SE, 2013, 32H0674/12X410)

 

The test systems used to assess local effects are not able to deliver a quantitative dose-response information. Therefore a qualitative RA for local effects is performed.

 

The inhalation DNEL was derived using route-to-route extrapolation as there is no adequate subacute/subchronic studies for inhalation available.

further assessment factors are applied to address the possible lower NOAEL. For this a assessment factor of 10 is chosen as the observed effects even in the lowest dose were present in some animals. But a clear dose response was observed (leading effect cardiomyophaty) showing that the effect is decreasing.

 

Most sensitive record for local effects:

- Skin irritation, Rabbit, 4h, OECD 404, RA from CAS 1116-76-3: severe reaction, skin irritant (BASF SE, 1988, 18H0264/882108)

- Eye irritation, Rabbit, OECD 405, RA from CAS 1116-76-3: slight to mild signs, eye irritant cat 2

(BASF SE, 1988, 11H0264/882109)

- Skin sensitisation, in vivo, guinea pig, Bühler, OECD 406: negative (BASF SE, 2013, 32H0674/12X410)

 

The test systems used to assess local effects are not able to deliver a quantitative dose-response information. Therefore a qualitative RA for local effects is performed.

 

All DNELs were derived using, if necessary, route-to-route extrapolation if there is no adequate subacute/subchronic studies for dermal or inhalation available.
