Eye irritation
Diethyleneglycol, ethoxylated and propoxylated is not classified for eye irritation. Therefore, no DNEL has to be derived.
Skin sensitisation
Diethyleneglycol, ethoxylated and propoxylated is not classified for skin sensitisation. Therefore, no DNEL has to be derived.
Repeated dose toxicity
a. Worker-DNEL long-term dermal, systemic
The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day from the 28-day repeat dose oral study in the rat was taken as dose descriptor. In a first step a route-to-route extrapolation is made for the rat. On the assumption that, in general, dermal absorption will not be higher than oral absorption (default factor = 1) no modification of the dose descriptor is necessary to set the correct starting point when performing oral-to-dermal extrapolation
Oral NOAEL (rat) = dermal NOAEL(rat) = 1000 mg/kg bw/day
The DNEL long-term dermal, systemic is calculated by applying assessment factors to the NOAEL. Since the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL and the study is of good/standard quality no default factors (i.e. factor 1) are introduced for “Issues related to dose-response” and “Quality of whole database”, respectively.
For the remaining uncertainties in extrapolation procedure and in the available data an overall assessment factor of 72 was calculated using the ECETOC document (2003):
- Inter-species differences = 4
- Intra-species differences = 3
- Exposure duration: Conversion from a sub-acute study to a chronic study = 6
Worker-DNEL long-term, dermal, systemic = 1000/72 = 13.9 mg/kg bw/day
b. Worker-DNEL long-term inhalation, systemic
The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day from the 28-day repeat dose oral study in the rat was taken as dose descriptor. The NAEC worker (8h) was calculated as prescribed by the guidance:
Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = rat oral NOAEL x (1/sRVrat) x (ABSoral rat/human inhal) x (sRVhuman/wRV)
- N = 1000 x (1/0.38) x 1 x (6.7/10)
- N= 1000 x 2.63 x 0.67 = 1763 mg/m³.
The DNEL long-term inhalation, systemic is calculated by applying assessment factors to the NAEC. Since the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL and the study is of good/standard quality no default factors (i.e. factor 1) are introduced for “Issues related to dose-response” and “Quality of whole database”, respectively.
For the remaining uncertainties in extrapolation procedure and in the available data an overall assessment factor of 18 was calculated using the ECETOC document (2003):
- Inter-species differences = 1
- Intra-species differences = 3
- Exposure duration: Conversion from a sub-acute study to a chronic study = 6
Worker-DNEL long-term inhalation, systemic = 1763 mg/m³/18 = 98 mg/m³
Remark: In a 90-day repeated dose study (oral) with the 'read-across' substance EDA EO PO of good quality (OECD TG 408) a NOAEL > 300 mg/kg bw was calculated. However, considering the adapted assessment factor for exposure duration (2 instead of 6) the derivation of a DNEL based on this study will not result in a more critical DNEL compared to the DNEL calculated from the 28-day repeated dose study with the target substance itself.
Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity
The substances are not considered mutagenic. Based on the toxicological profile of the substances, carcinogenicity is not expected.
Reproduction toxicity
The NOAEL for reproduction toxicity was concluded to be 1000 mg/kg bw/day (highest dose tested in OECD 421 study). As no adverse reproduction toxic effects were observed at the highest dose tested, a DNEL for reproduction toxicity is not quantifiable.
Nevertheless in case the highest dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day will be used for a DNEL derivation this will not result in a more critical DNEL compared to the DNEL for repeated dose toxicity. When deriving a DNEL for reproduction from an OECD 421 assay an additional assessment factor of 2 to 5 should be applied. However, as the assessment factor of 6 for exposure duration (conversion from a sub-acute study to a chronic study) is not applicable for deriving a DNEL for reproduction, the extra assessment factor of 2 to 5 for lower sensitivity of the OECD 421 study does not result in a higher overall assessment factor for reproduction toxicity compared to repeated dose toxicity.

Eye irritation
Diethyleneglycol, ethoxylated and propoxylated is not classified for eye irritation. Therefore, no DNEL has to be derived.
Skin sensitisation
Diethyleneglycol, ethoxylated and propoxylated is not classified for skin sensitisation. Therefore, no DNEL has to be derived.
Repeated dose toxicity
a. General population-DNEL long-term oral, systemic
The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day from the 28-day repeat dose oral study in the rat was taken as dose descriptor.
The DNEL (oral) is calculated by applying assessment factors to the NOAEL. Since the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL and the study is of good/standard quality no default factors (i.e. factor 1) are introduced for “Issues related to dose-response” and “Quality of whole database”, respectively.
For the remaining uncertainties in extrapolation procedure and in the available data an overall assessment factor of 120 was developed using the ECETOC document (2003):
- Inter-species differences = 4
- Intra-species differences = 5
- Exposure duration: Conversion from a sub-acute study to a chronic study = 6
General population-DNEL long-term, oral, systemic = 1000/120 = 8.3 mg/kg bw/day
b. General population-DNEL long-term dermal, systemic
The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day from the 28-day repeat dose oral study in the rat was taken as dose descriptor. In a first step a route-to-route extrapolation is made for the rat. On the assumption that, in general, dermal absorption will not be higher than oral absorption (default factor = 1) no modification of the dose descriptor is necessary to set the correct starting point when performing oral-to-dermal extrapolation
Oral NOAEL (rat) = dermal NOAEL (rat) = 1000 mg/kg bw/day
The DNEL (dermal) is calculated by applying assessment factors to the NOAEL. Since the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL and the study is of good/standard quality no default factors (i.e. factor 1) are introduced for “Issues related to dose-response” and “Quality of whole database”, respectively.
For the remaining uncertainties in extrapolation procedure and in the available data an overall assessment factor of 120 was calculated using the ECETOC document (2003):
- Inter-species differences = 4
- Intra-species differences = 5
- Exposure duration: Conversion from a sub-acute study to a chronic study = 6
General population-DNEL long-term, dermal, systemic = 1000/120 = 8.3 mg/kg bw/day
c. General population-DNEL long-term, inhalation, systemic
The NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day from the 28-day repeat dose oral study in the rat was taken as dose descriptor. The NOAEC general population (24 h) was calculated as prescribed by the guidance:
Corrected inhalatory NOAEC = rat oral NOAEL x (1/sRVrat) x (ABS oral rat/ABS inhal human)
- N= 1000 x (1/1.15) x 1
- N= 1000 x 0.87 = 870 mg/m³
The DNEL (inhalation) is calculated by applying assessment factors to the NOAEC. Since the starting point for the DNEL calculation is a NOAEL and the study is of good/standard quality no default factors (i.e. factor 1) are introduced for “Issues related to dose-response” and “Quality of whole database”, respectively.
For the remaining uncertainties in extrapolation procedure and in the available data an overall assessment factor of 30 was calculated using the ECETOC document (2003):
- Inter-species differences = 1
- Intra-species differences = 5
- Exposure duration: Conversion from a sub-acute study to a chronic study = 6
General population-DNEL long-term inhalation, systemic = 870 mg/m³/30 = 29 mg/m³
Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity
The substances are not considered mutagenic. Based on the toxicological profile of the substances, carcinogenicity is not expected.
