Dose descriptor starting point:

Value:

Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
1 234.21 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No data on toxicity after inhalation is available. The DNEL long-term, systemic (inhalation) was derived by route-to-route extrapolation from the oral NOAEL (1000 mg/kg bw/day) obtained from the repeated dose oral toxicity study. This NOAEL was considered as key value for chemical safety assessment and therefore most relevant starting point. A conservative approach is used assuming a two times higher absorption via the inhalation route (end route) as compared to the oral route (starting route).

AF for dose response relationship:
1
Justification:
The dose response relationship is considered unremarkable, therefore no additional factor is used.
AF for differences in duration of exposure:
4
Justification:
As the NOAEL of a repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 422) with an exposure time of approx. 50 days (males: 50 days; females: 2 weeks prior to mating until Postpartum Day 13) was used as point of departure an AF of 4 is considered as adequate for the exposure duration extrapolation.

AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
1
Justification:
No allometric scalling is applied for inhalation as the inhalative data is standardized with reference to the respiratory rates. Respiratory rates depend directly on caloric demand, therefore inhalative study results are already extrapolated to humans on the basis of metabolic rate scaling (=allometric scaling).
AF for other interspecies differences:
2.5
Justification:
Recommended AF for interspecies differences
AF for intraspecies differences:
5
Justification:
The default value for the relatively homogeneous group "worker" is used.
AF for the quality of the whole database:
1
Justification:
The quality of the whole database is considered to be sufficient and uncritical.
AF for remaining uncertainties:
1
Justification:
The approach used for DNEL derivation is conservative. No further assessment factors are required.
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

No data for the classification and labelling of the test substance for acute systemic toxicity (inhalation) is available. The substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity and acute dermal toxicity, therefore no adverse result for inhalation toxicity is expected (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8). Thus, no DNEL is required.

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

There are no relevant experimental data on repeated dermal exposure. The DNEL long-term, systemic (dermal) was derived by route-to-route extrapolation from the oral NOAEL (1000 mg/kg bw/day) obtained from the repeated dose oral toxicity study. Based on physicochemical and experimental data dermal absorption occurs. Nevertheless, penetration through skin is anticipated to be less extensive than oral absorption and an absorption rate of 50 % of oral absorption was taken for calculation.

General

DNEL derivation for the test substance is performed under consideration of the recommendations of ECHA. In view of the data used for evaluation, the "quality of whole database factors" and "dose-response factors" are considered to amount each to a value of 1, and are thus not shown in the calculations presented below.

 

Workers – Hazard via inhalation route

 

Long term systemic inhalation DNEL, worker

The DNEL long term, systemic (inhalation) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study.

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose oral toxicity study OECD 422 is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral systemic NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification into a correct starting point:

Using a conservative approach, a worker DNEL (long term inhalation exposure) is derived considering a two times higher absorption via inhalation than oral absorption.

 

Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 1000 mg/kg bw/day

Standard respiratory volume of the rat (sRVrat) for 8 hours: 0.38 m³/kg bw/d

Oral absorption of the rat / inhalation absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human): 0.5

Standard respiratory volume of humans (sRVhuman) for 8 hours: 6.7 m³

Worker respiratory volume (wRV) for 8 hours with light physical activity: 10 m³

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of worker exposure: 5 days/week

 

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for workers

= 1000 mg/kg bw/day* 0.5 * (1 / 0.38 m³/kg bw/day) * (6.7 m³/10 m³) * (7/5)

= 1234.21 mg/m³

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 50

Interspecies: no allometric scaling factor is applied because an oral-to-inhalation route extrapolation is performed.

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (worker): 5

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic inhalation DNEL, workers = 24.68 mg/m3

 

Short term systemic inhalation DNEL, worker

No data for the classification and labelling of the test substance for acute systemic toxicity (inhalation) is available. The substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity and acute dermal toxicity, therefore no adverse result for inhalation toxicity is expected (in accordance with "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment", chapter R8). Thus, no DNEL is required.

 

Local effects, short and long term inhalation, worker

No data on respiratory irritation is available. However, the test substance is classified as corrosive to skin cat. 1B according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). This implies a potential to damage mucosal tissue by inhalation exposure (according to "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment. Chapter R.8: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for human health", November 2012) and therefore the substance is allocated to the medium hazard band (according to " Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Part E: Risk Characterisation", May 2016). 

 

Workers – Hazard via dermal route

 Long term systemic dermal DNEL, worker

The DNEL long term, systemic (dermal) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study (OECD 422).

 

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose toxicity study (OECD 422) is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

 

Step 2: Modification of the starting point:

There are no relevant experimental data on repeated dermal exposure. Based on physicochemical and experimental data dermal absorption occurs. Nevertheless, penetration through skin is anticipated to be less extensive than oral absorption and a dermal absorption rate of 50 % compared to the oral absorption rate was taken for calculation.

 

Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 1000 mg/kg bw/day

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of worker exposure: 5 days/week

Oral absorption of the rat / dermal absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSdermal-human): 100/50

 

Corrected dermal NOAEL for workers

1000 mg/kg bw/day * (100%/50%) * (7/5) = 2800 mg/kg bw/day

 

Step 3: Use of assessment factors: 200

Interspecies AF, allometric scaling (rat to human): 4

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (worker): 5

Exposure duration AF: 4

Remaining uncertainties AF: 1

 

In conclusion, long term systemic dermal DNEL, workers = 14 mg/kg bw/day

 

Short term systemic dermal, worker

The test material is not classified and labelled for acute dermal toxicity, according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Thus, no DNEL is required.

 

Local effects, long term and short term dermal DNEL, worker

The test item is classified into cat 1B for skin corrosion according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore it is allocated to the medium hazard band (according to " Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Part E: Risk Characterisation", May 2016).

 

Worker – Hazard for the eyes

The test item is classified into cat 1B for skin corrosion according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). Therefore it is allocated to the medium hazard band (according to " Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Part E: Risk Characterisation", May 2016). A qualitative risk assessment is conducted.

Long term systemic inhalation DNEL, general population

The DNEL long term, systemic (inhalation) is derived by route-to route extrapolation from the repeated dose oral toxicity study.

Step 1: Selection of the relevant dose descriptor (starting point):

The combined repeated dose oral toxicity study OECD 422 is selected for DNEL derivation as it is the relevant repeated dose study performed in accordance to OECD guideline and GLP. In this study, the oral systemic NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

Step 2: Modification into a correct starting point:

Using a conservative approach, a general population DNEL (long term inhalation exposure) is derived considering a two times higher absorption via inhalation than oral absorption.

Relevant dose descriptor (NOAEL): 1000 mg/kg bw/day

Standard respiratory volume of the rat (sRVrat) for 24 hours: 1.35 m³/kg bw/d

Oral absorption of the rat / inhalation absorption of humans (ABSoral-rat / ABSinh-human): 0.5

Frequency of exposure in study: 7 days/week

Frequency of general population exposure: 7 days/week

Corrected inhalatory NOAEC for workers

Interspecies AF, remaining differences: 2.5

Intraspecies AF (worker): 10
