Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Humans differ in sensitivity due to a number of biological factors (such as age, gender, genetic composition and nutritional status). The intraspecies variation in humans is greater than in the more homogeneous experimental animal population

The data from animal studies are the starting point for risk characterisation.The default assumption in general is that humans are more sensitive than experimental animals.The traditional default AF(Assessment factor) suggested for interspecies extrapolation is 5 for workers and 10 for general population should be applied to the concentration/dose descriptor.

A lower default factor is generally suggested for the worker population, because the very young and very old are not part of this population.

To cover the intra-species variation, the default AF (Assessment factor) of 5 for workers was applied to the concentration/dose descriptor (NOAEL or NOAEC).

 

The dose descriptor for dermal irritation/corrosion come from dermal acute study. In this study, the dose is reported in the unit mg/kg of body weight/day. This needs to be modified to enable comparison with the human exposure, generally expressed in mg/cm2/day.

We have taken that:

• the average weight of rats is 250g (200-300g), and the average weight of rabbit is 2.5 kg used by Kretchmar B.,1972.

• the dose is applied over an area which is approximately 10% of the total body surface, and

• the total body surface of rats is on the average 445 cm2  (363 to 527 cm2) and 1270 cm2of rabbit used by Kretchmar B.,1972.

 

 

The generic modification from the NOAELtest (in mg/kg of body weight) toNOAELmodified (in mg/cm2/day) will be

NOAELin mg/cm2 =        ((dose in mg/kg bw)x (average animal weight in kg)) / Treated surface in cm2)

 

NOAELtest* 2.5/127= NOAELmodified

 

The highest dose not causing irritation/corrosion was400 mg/kg bw in the acute study of Kretchmar B.,1972., the modified dose descriptor would be

NOAELmodified =400 mg/kg*2.5 kg/127cm2=7.87mg/cm2
