Description of key information

No reliable data to cover the skin sensitisation endpoint is available for praseodymium trinitrate. This endpoint is covered with a read-across approach with praseodymium trichloride as source substance, for which a justification is added in section 13. In an in vivo skin sensitisation study in guinea pigs (Tarcai, 2017; GPMT, OECD 406, Klimisch 1), praseodymium trichloride demonstrated to not induce a skin sensitisation response in the guinea pig after intradermal, dermal and challenge exposures. Therefore, preasodymium trinitrate is also considered to be a non-sensitizer.

Clinical observations/mortality/body weight

- No signs of systemic or local toxicity were observed in any of the animals.

- No mortality was observed during the study.

- There were no notable differences in body weight between the test animal group and the control group.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No reliable skin sensitisation study is available for praseodymium trinitrate. Therefore, reliable data from the related substance praseodymium trichloride is used to cover this endpoint.
Challenge with this test item (praseodymium trichloride) evoked no positive responses in the test animals previously sensitised with the test item or in the control group. The net response value represented an incidence rate of 0% and the net score value of 0.00. In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay, the test item praseodymium trichloride was shown to have no skin sensitisation potential and is consequently classified as a non-sensitiser, according to current EU-regulations. The same is assumed for Praseodymium trinitrate.
Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
an in vitro skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study are available
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is considered not to be classified as skin sensitizer based on the results with the analogue substance praseodymium trichloride and according to the criteria laid down in the CLP Regulation.
