Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The results of the exposure assessment throughout the lifecycle stage demonstrated that exposures were well below the DNELs (RCR range <0.01 to 0.252) for the registered conditions of use (i.e. for industrial populations). Uncertainty resulting from the omission of the information requirement was adequately addressed. The derived DNELs from the two models are shown in Table 1. The biological model was more conservative and relevant for exposure prediction compared to application of adjustment factors (AF) alone.

Table 1. Comparison of Derived DNELs for Workers Based on Use of Adjustment Factors or QSAR Model
DNEL (AF) DNEL (QSAR Model)
inhalation (mg/m3) 8.75 7.31
dermal (mg/kg/d) 99.3 41.5
oral (mg/kg/d) 9.93 4.15
RCR range <0.01 – 0.202 <0.01 to 0.252

Executive summary:

The Registrant determined that an exposure-driven approach may substitute for a PNDT study in a second species because there is sufficient developmental toxicity test data to conclude that the registered substance is not a developmental toxicant and importantly risk management measures and operational conditions are sufficient to demonstrate that there is no significant exposure during manufacturing and in all identified uses. Hence, there are sufficient grounds to adapt the information requirement according to the specific rules outlined in Annex XI 3.2 (a) of the REACH Regulation. The results of the exposure assessment throughout the lifecycle stage demonstrated that exposures were well below the DNELs (RCR range <0.01 to 0.252) for the registered conditions of use (i.e. for industrial populations).
