According to the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, a leading DN(M)EL needs to be derived for every relevant human population and every relevant route, duration and frequency of exposure, if feasible.
Short-term toxicity
According to the REACH guideline (R8, Appendix R 8-8), a DNEL for acute toxicity should be derived if an acute toxicity hazard (leading to C&L) has been identified and there is a potential risk for high peak exposures. Since the substance is not classified for acute dermal, inhalation, and oral toxicity, no short-term DNELs needs to be derived for these routes of exposure. The substance is also not classified as irritating to the skin and not sensitizing. Therefore no derivation of the DNEL for local dermal effects and for sensitization is needed. No data is available whether the test substance could cause irritation to the respiratory track and therefore no DNEL could be derived.
Long-term toxicity
A subacute (28-days) oral toxicity study is available in rats. In this study a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg bw/day was established. This NOAEL is based on the absence of treatment related effects on mortality, clinical signs, food consumption, grip strength, body weight, and locomotor activity. Some effects in clinical laboratory investigations, macroscopic and microscopic findings were observed, but these test-item related changes were considered to be non-adverse.Since only a sub-acute oral toxicity study is available a route-to-route extrapolation is needed to derive the DNELs for dermal and inhalation route.
According to Chapter R.8 of REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, it is proposed in the absence of route-specific information on the starting route, to include a default factor of 2 in the case of oral-to-inhalation extrapolation and a default factor of 1 in case of oral-to-dermal extrapolation. This approach will be taken forward to DNEL derivation.

For inhalation studies only a factor 2.5 is used, and no correction is made for differences in body size, because extrapolation is based on toxicological equivalence of a concentration of a chemical in the air of experimental animals and humans; animals and humans breathe at a rate depending on their caloric requirements. |

Step 2) Modification of starting point |

Based on low log Kow and very high water solubility, dermal absorption is expected to be low. A ratio of 0.1% for dermal to oral absorption is therefore provisionally suggested for DNEL derivation. |
