Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Systemic effects
Long term exposure
- Hazard assessment conclusion:
- DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
- Value:
- 1.62 mg/m³
- Most sensitive endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity
- Route of original study:
- Oral
DNEL related information
- DNEL derivation method:
- ECHA REACH Guidance
- Overall assessment factor (AF):
- 16.32
- Dose descriptor starting point:
- other: NOEL
- Value:
- 15 mg/kg bw/day
- Modified dose descriptor starting point:
- other: NOEL
- Value:
- 26.45 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
Starting point NOAELoral-rat -> corrected inhalative NOAEChuman (8h worker): NOAEC human (8h worker) = oral NOAEL rat (15 mg/kg bw/d) * 1 / sRVrat (0.38m³/kg/d) * ABSoral-rat (1)/ABSinh-human (1) * sRVhuman (6.7 m³)/wRV (10 m³) = 26.45 mg/m³
- AF for dose response relationship:
- 1
- Justification:
- The dose descriptor starting point is already a NOAEL/NOEL.
- AF for differences in duration of exposure:
- 3.4
- Justification:
- The original study was a sub-acute (28-day) study and the assessment factor was used to correct for the differences of a sub-acute study to a chronic study (worst case scenario). The assessment factor proposed by Batke et al. (2001) "Evaluation of time extrapolation factors based on the database RepDose" was used.
- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- No AF for allometric scaling necessary as differences in metabolic rates have already been compensated for in the modification of the dose descriptor. Route-to-route extrapolation was performed within one species as a first step and interspecies extrapolation within the same exposure route as the second step.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 1
- Justification:
- The study used for the calculation of the systemic long term DNEL obtained a NOEL and thus, no AF for other interspecies differences were applied. The value was considered sufficiently protective.
- AF for intraspecies differences:
- 2.4
- Justification:
- Default value for worker proposed by Schneider et al. (2005) "Uncertainty Analysis on Workplace Effect Assessment".
- AF for the quality of the whole database:
- 1
- Justification:
- The quality of the database is sufficient and reliable.
- AF for remaining uncertainties:
- 2
- Justification:
- A default value for the route-to-route extrapolation from oral to inhalation.

- Value:
- 13.04 mg/m³
- Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

- AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):
- 1
- Justification:
- No AF for allometric scaling necessary as differences in metabolic rates have already been compensated for in the modification of the dose descriptor using a standard breathing volume for the rat.
- AF for other interspecies differences:
- 1
- Justification:
- The study used for the calculation of the systemic long term DNEL obtained a NOEL and thus, no AF for other interspecies differences were applied. The value was considered sufficiently protective.
