ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
37.5
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
881.6 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
No inhalation repeated toxicity study has been performed, because toxicological literature regarding alkyl polyglucosides is very exhaustive and no additional animal testing was deemed necessary.
AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The starting point for the DNEL calculation was a NOAEL, therfore the default assessment factor, as a standard procedure, is 1.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
3
Justification:
An assessment factor of 3 has been applied in order to consider the differences the duration of the exposure in the oral 90-day repeated toxicity study and the
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
Allometric scaling does not apply in case of oral-inhalation route to route extrapolation.
AF for other interspecies differences:

Justification:
No substance-specific data are available, so a default assessment factor of 2.5 has been applied for other interspecies differences.
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
An assessment factor of 5 has been chosen to cover workers, as this population does not cover the very young, the very old, and the very ill.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
Data regarding "Sodium salt of esterification products of C10-C16 (even numbered) alkylpolyglycosides with citric acid" are complete and of good quality, indeed, where no specific studies regarding the substance are available, literature regarding alkyl polyglucosides covers all the data gaps.

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
180 mg/kg bw/day

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The starting point for the DNEL calculation was a NOAEL, therfore the default assessment factor, as a standard procedure, is 1.

AF for differences in duration of exposure:
1
Justification:
It has been considered that increasing the duration of exposure does not increase the severity of the irritative effects.

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

Two DNEL values were derived for systemic effects after long-term exposure in workers: a dermal DNEL and an inhalation DNEL. Values were obtained from the NOAELs of an oral repeated toxicity study and of a NOAEL of a dermal 14-day repeated toxicity study. As this NOAELs were observed in an oral and a dermal study, respectively, a route-to-route extrapolation was needed in order to obtain the correct starting point for the derivation of the inhalation DNEL. Moreover, a DNEL for dermal local effects after repeated exposure was derived. In this case the dermal NAEL for local effects needed to be corrected into the correct unit. The correct starting points were then divided by an overall assessment factor, which was a result of various consideration on uncertainties in inter-and intra-species variations, and on differences in the duration of exposure between test animals and humans. Moreover also the whole quality of the database was considered. No DNEL was derived for local inhalation effects after long term exposure, for which a qualitative assessment has been performed.

 

For acute effects, no DNEL was deemed necessary, because no acute toxicity hazards (leading to C&L) have been identified.

Additional information - General Population

Three DNELs were derived for systemic effects after long-term exposure in workers: an inhalation DNEL, a dermal DNEL and a DNEL for oral effects. The inhalation DNEL was obtained from the NOAEL of an oral repeated toxicity study, therefore a route-to-route extrapolation was needed in order to obtain the correct starting point for the derivation of the DNEL.

A DNEL for local effects after dermal exposure was also derived. In this case, the LOAEL for skin effects derived from the dermal repeated toxicity study had to be corrected in right unit (mg/cm2 from mg/kg bw/day).

The correct starting points were divided by an overall assessment factor, which was a result of various consideration on uncertainties in inter-and intra-species variations, and on differences in the duration of exposure between test animals and humans. Moreover also the whole quality of the database was considered. No DNEL was derived for local inhalation effects after long term exposure, for which a qualitative assessment has been performed.
