According to REACH "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part B: Hazard Assessment", above 10 t/y, the establishement of acute toxicity DNEL is unnecessary in most cases, as the DNEL based on long-term exposure is normally sufficient to ensure that adverse effects do not occur. Thus, acute DNELs should default the long-term systemic DNELs.

For local effects, a DNEL was not quantifiable; However, as the substance is known to be a skin sensitizer, local effects must be assessed qualitatively and risk management measures applied as necessary. The potential for respiratory sensitization is unknown; however, given its skin sensitization potential, this endpoint should also be assessed qualitatively.

The dose descriptor starting point for DNEL calculation used:

NOAEL: 50 mg/kg bw (determined during an repeated dose oral toxicity study in rats performed in 2013).

By default the dermal absorption was considered to be 100%.

For inhalation, a NAEL human was determined using an allometric scaling of 4 and a body weight of 70 kg and found to be 12.50 mg/kg, resulting in a corrected NAEC human of 87.5 mg/m3.
