PNEC Summary : Not available
Derived No-Effect Levels (DNEL s) and Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNEC s)
Explanatory note:
REACH requires manufacturers and importers to establish and report Derived No-Effect Levels (DNEL s) for
humans by inhalation, ingestion and dermal routes of exposure and Predicted No-Effect Concentrations
(PNEC s) for environmental exposure. DNEL's and PNEC's are established by the registrant without an official
consultation process, and are not intended to be directly used for setting workplace or general population
exposure limits. They are primarily used as input values in running Quantitative Risk Assessment models (like
the ECETOC-TRA model).
Due to differences in calculation methodology the DNEL will tend to be lower (sometimes significantly) than
any corresponding health-based OEL for that chemical substance. Further although DNEL s (and PNEC s) are
an indication for setting risk reduction measures, it should be recognized that these limits do not have the same
regulatory application as officially endorsed governmental OEL s.
8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls : If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use
process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below
any recommended or statutory limits.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical
products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the
end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to
remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work
clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations
and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be
used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid
exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is
possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the
assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash
goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical
products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering
the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during
use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material
may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of
mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the

Remarks: BADGE did not induce any evidence of development toxicity in rats and
rabbits exposed by oral gavage or in rabbits treated by the dermal route in
OECD Test Guideline no. 414 GLP studies. The oral gavage studies were
conducted up to a high dose level of 180 mg/kg/day that produced maternal
toxicity base on decreased body weight gain. The rabbit dermal study was
conduced up to a high dose of 300 mg/kg/day that induced maternal
toxicity based on reduced body weight gain.
