1. Relevant Toxicology Data, exposure pattern and route
The oral repeat dose toxicity of an analog substance EC 270-608-0 was evaluated with rats at doses as high as 160 mg/kg/day for up to 52 consecutive days in accordance with OECD 422. Substance-related toxicity was limited to morbundity, adverse clinical signs, and epithelial hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, and inflammation of the stomach. The NOAEL for systemic toxicity was 160 mg/kg/day. The NOEL for portal of entry irritation and related secondary effects parental toxicity was 40 mg/kg/day. This study was determined to be suitable for read across to fill the data gap for the test substance.
2. Mode of action
No non-threshold mode of action is associated with this substance; in particular, the test substance has no genotoxic potential.
3. Correction of dose descriptor
NOAEL oral is converted into a NOAEL corrected in accordance to Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8: Characterization of dose [concentration] - response for human health, ECHA, May 2008.
NOAEL oral = 160 mg/kg/d
NOAEL corrected = 1600 mg/kg/d for dermal exposure, dermal absorption of 10% was justified (see Toxicokinetic Statement).
NOAEL corrected = NOAE Lrat-oral ÷ 0.38 m3/kg*(ABS rat-oral ÷ ABShuman-inhalation)*6.7÷10.3 (sRV human 8h/wRV 8h) = 273.9 mg/m3 for inhalation exposure.
Purity of the test material is 85.6%, and it was taken into account when calculating DNEL.
4. Application of assessment factors
Dermal route: The following assessment factors were chosen: interspecies difference (4 for allometric scale, 1 for remaining difference), intraspecies difference (5 for workers), duration extrapolation (6 for subacute to chronic exposure duration), and quality of the data (1 for a reliable study).
Inhalation route: The following assessment factors were chosen: interspecies difference (1), intraspecies difference (5 for workers), duration extrapolation (6 for subacute to chronic exposure duration), and quality of the data (1 for a reliable study).

NOAEL corrected = NOAEL rat-oral÷ 1.15 m3/kg*(ABS rat-oral÷ ABS human-inhalation) =139.1 mg/m3for inhalation exposure.
Purity of the test material is 91%, and it was taken into account when calculating DNEL.
4. Application of assessment factors
Dermal route: The following assessment factors were chosen: interspecies difference (4 for allometric scale, 1 for remaining difference), intraspecies difference (10 for general population), duration extrapolation (6 for subacute to chronic exposure duration), and quality of the data (1 for a reliable study).
Inhalation route: The following assessment factors were chosen: interspecies difference (1), intraspecies difference (10 for general population), duration extrapolation (6 for subacute to chronic exposure duration), and quality of the data (1 for a reliable study).
Oral route: The following assessment factors were chosen: interspecies difference (4 for allometric scale, 2.5 for remaining difference), intraspecies difference (10 for general population), duration extrapolation (6 for subacute to chronic exposure duration), and quality of the data (1 for a reliable study).
