Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Worker

Acute exposure - systemic effects

It is not possible to derive a DNEL for acute effects based on the available data. There are no symptoms reported in the oral acute study at 3200 mg/kg bw. There is no risk to be expected from inhalative exposure since IRT showed no effects.

Acute exposure - local effects

Neopentylglycol is classified as "Risk of serious damage to eyes" (R41). A test was performed (as the guideline prescribes) with undiluted test substance. Therefore, this test does not provide dose-response data that could be used for the derivation of a DNEL.

It is not possible to derive a DNEL based on the available data. According to the REACH guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part E: Risk Characterisation, a qualitative risk characterisation should be performed for this endpoint. In order to guarantee "adequately control of risks", it is necessary to stipulate risk management measures that prevent eye exposure.

Long-term exposure - systemic effects

The DNELs for inhalatory and dermal long term exposure are derived from a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw obtained in an oral subchronic repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 408; BASF SE 2013).
