Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 following figures were used to determine the long-term and short-term DNEL's for workers:

Short-term:

The DNEL's were derived from a repeated dose toxicity study, where an LOAEL was determined. Based on this, an assessment factor of 3 was applied, in accordance with ECETOC guidance.

Intraspecies (allometric) assessment factor: 4, (rat as test species)

Intraspecies (additional) assessment factor: 2.5,

Interspecies assessment factor: 5,

Duration assessment factor: 1, (90 day study)

Dose-Response assessment factor: 3 (derived from an LOAEL according to ECETOC guidance),

Database quality assessment factor: 2 (possible concerns over reprotoxicity).

Overall Assessment Factor: 300

Long-term:

The DNEL's were derived from a repeated dose toxicity study, where an LOAEL was determined. Based on this, an assessment factor of 3 was applied, in accordance with ECETOC guidance.

Intraspecies (allometric) assessment factor: 4, (rat as test species)

Intraspecies (additional) assessment factor: 2.5,

Interspecies assessment factor: 5,

Duration assessment factor: 2, (90 day study)

Dose-Response assessment factor: 3 (derived from an LOAEL according to ECETOC guidance),

Database quality assessment factor: 2 (possible concerns over reprotoxicity).

Overall assessment factor: 600

Additional information - General Population

DNEL derivation is not required for the general population - there are no uses proposed for glycidol that would result in general population exposure. In addition the strictures placed upon the material arising from its toxic and CMR classification would preclude use by the general population.
