Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
other: ECHA REACH Guidance in combination with publications and the ERASM project evaluation
Overall assessment factor (AF):
25.5
Dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEL
Value:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 763 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (BASF 2019) with the registered substance was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1200 mg/kg bw/d for rats, corresponding to 1007 mg/kg bw/d of 3 -Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5 -trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2 -Propanediol, monocarbamate.

This point of departure was modified to get the corrected starting point for DNEL derivation. As a first step, route-to-route extrapolation was performed as recommended in the "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, p. 26 f.:

The oral rat NOAEL was converted into the inhalative human NOAEC corrected for differences between the 8-hour standard inhalation volume of rats versus humans, and for differences between the 8-hour inhalation volume of workers in rest versus workers in light activity, by multiplying with the corresponding factors (x 1/0.38 m³/kg/d x 6.7 m³/10 m³). The resulting corrected starting point for inhalation DNEL derivation for workers is equal to 1763 mg/m³.

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
No adverse effects were observed up to the limit concentration.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
3.4
Justification:
Within the ERASM project, time-extrapolation factors were evaluated with the database RepDoseg that currently contains about 670 substances and 2200 studies on repeated-dose toxicity. It has been shown that as long as the material is soluble, the sub-acute to sub-chronic factor was 1.5, rather than 3 , the sub-acute to chronic factor was 3.4 and the sub-chronic to chronic factor was 1.4 (Batke et al, 2011). Furthermore, female rats were exposed for 42-56 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
The allometric scaling is already taken into account in the starting point correction.
AF for other interspecies differences:
1
Justification:
Besides the applied allometric scaling factors no additional interspecies factor for remaining differences has been used based on the fact that concerning inhalation, rodents like the rat are in general more sensitive compared to human as the rat's ventilation frequency is higher. Also anatomical differences as well as air flow patterns between rodents and humans have to be taken into account. Within the ERASM project, studies in rats and mice are being examined to substantiate whether the factors for allometry and 'remaining‘ differences would be appropriate for these species. The results suggest that a factor of 2.5 for 'remaining‘ interspecies differences may be questionable as a standard procedure (Escher and Mangelsdorf, 2009; Batke et al, 2011; Bitsch et al, 2006).
AF for intraspecies differences:
3
Justification:
There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The quality of the database is of high quality. The DNEL derivation is based on reliable guideline studies.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
2.5
Justification:
An additional safety factor for remaining uncertainties was used to cover possible risks of the performed read-across.

Worker:

Based on the available data, there is no need for classification and labeling of 3-Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2-Propanediol, monocarbamate.

The primary routes of anticipated industrial and professional exposure for 3-Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2-Propanediol, monocarbamate, are via inhalation and skin contact. In industrial settings, ingestion is not an anticipated route of exposure, but has to be considered for the general population (see below).

Inhalation long-term exposure – systemic effects:

The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (BASF 2019) with the registered substance was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1200 mg/kg bw/d for rats, corresponding to 1007 mg/kg bw/d of 3 -Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5 -trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2 -Propanediol, monocarbamate.

This point of departure was modified to get the corrected starting point for DNEL derivation. As a first step, route-to-route extrapolation was performed as recommended in the "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8, p. 26 f.:

The oral rat NOAEL was converted into the inhalative human NOAEC corrected for differences between the 8-hour standard inhalation volume of rats versus humans, and for differences between the 8-hour inhalation volume of workers in rest versus workers in light activity, by multiplying with the corresponding factors (x 1/0.38 m³/kg/d x 6.7 m³/10 m³). The resulting corrected starting point for inhalation DNEL derivation for workers is equal to 1763 mg/m³.

For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:

- Interspecies factor: 1

Besides the applied allometric scaling factors no additional interspecies factor for remaining differences has been used based on the fact that concerning inhalation, rodents like the rat are in general more sensitive compared to human as the rat's ventilation frequency is higher. Also anatomical differences as well as air flow patterns between rodents and humans have to be taken into account.

The results suggest that a factor of 2.5 for 'remaining‘ interspecies differences may be questionable as a standard procedure (Escher and Mangelsdorf, 2009; Batke et al, 2011; Bitsch et al, 2006).

- Intraspecies factor: 3

There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.

- Exposure duration: 3.4 (Batke et.al., 2011)

Within the ERASM project, time-extrapolation factors were evaluated with the database RepDoseg that currently contains about 670 substances and 2200 studies on repeated-dose toxicity. It has been shown that as long as the material is soluble, the sub-acute to sub-chronic factor was 1.5, rather than 3 , the sub-acute to chronic factor was 3.4 and the sub-chronic to chronic factor was 1.4 (Batke et al, 2011). Furthermore, female rats were exposed for 42-56 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.

- Dose-response: 1

- Remaining uncertainties: 2.5

An additional safety factor for remaining uncertainties was used to cover possible risks of the performed read-across.

Total AF = 1 x 3 x 3.4 x 1 x 2.5 = 25.5

Based on this calculation the resulting DNEL is 69.1 mg/m³.

Dermal long-term exposure – systemic effects:

The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (BASF 2019) with the registered substance was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1200 mg/kg bw/d for rats, corresponding to 1007 mg/kg bw/d of 3 -Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5 -trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2 -Propanediol, monocarbamate.

There is no data available indicating that dermal uptake is considerably lower than oral uptake. The oral systemic long-term NOAEL was therefore considered appropriate for derivation of a dermal systemic long-term DNEL without further correction.

For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:

- Interspecies factor: 4

Recommended for the rat in REACh Guidance document R.8 for allometric scaling

 - Intraspecies factor: 3

There were no systemic effects observed in the repeated dose study with rats. Therefore an intraspecies factor of 3 is considered to be sufficient.

- Exposure duration: 3.4 (Batke et.al., 2011)

Furthermore, female rats were exposed for 42-56 days instead of 28 days as requested in a regular 28-day study.

- Dose-response: 1

- Remaining differences: 2.5

An additional safety factor for remaining uncertainties was used to cover possible risks of the performed read-across.

Total AF = 4 x 3 x 3.4 x 1 x 2.5 = 102

Based on this calculation the resulting DNEL is 9.8 mg/kg bw/day.

Based on the available data, there is no need for classification and labeling of 3-Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2-Propanediol, monocarbamate.

For the general population, all three possible routes of exposure (oral, dermal, inhalation) have to be taken into account.

Inhalation long-term exposure – systemic effects:

The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (BASF 2019) with the registered substance was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation.

Dermal long-term exposure – systemic effects:

The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (BASF 2019) with the registered substance was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term exposure following inhalation. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1200 mg/kg bw/d for rats, corresponding to 1007 mg/kg bw/d of 3 -Isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5 -trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, oligomers, reaction products with 1,2 -Propanediol, monocarbamate.

There is no data available indicating that dermal uptake is considerably lower than oral uptake. The oral systemic long-term NOAEL was therefore considered appropriate for derivation of a dermal systemic long-term DNEL without further correction.

Oral long-term exposure – systemic effects:

The NOAEL from an oral OECD Guideline 422 study (Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test) (WIL Reseach Europe, 2013) was identified as the appropriate starting point for DNEL derivation for long-term oral exposure. The NOAEL for general, systemic toxicity of the test substance was 1000 mg/kg bw/d for rats.

The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was considered appropriate as point of departure for DNEL derivation.

For DNEL derivation, the following assessment factors (AF) were applied to the corrected starting point:
