A preliminary test was conducted in order to determine the concentrations to be tested in the main study.
By intradermal route (tested concentrations: 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% and 2.5% (w/w)):
- intradermal injections of the dosage form preparations (0.1 mL) were performed in the interscapular region,
- local reactions were evaluated approximately 24, 48 hours and 6 days after the injections.
By cutaneous route:
- Under the conditions of the induction phase (tested concentrations: 5% and 10% (w/w)):
• a filter paper (approximately 8 cm2) was fully-loaded with a dosage form preparation and was then applied to the clipped area of the skin. The filter paper was held in place by means of an occlusive dressing for 48 hours,
• cutaneous reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
- Under the conditions of the challenge phase (tested concentrations: 5% and 10% (w/w)):
• the filter paper of a chamber (Finn Chamber®) was fully-loaded with a dosage form preparation. The chamber was then applied to the clipped area of the skin (one concentration per flank). The chamber was held in place by means of an occlusive dressing for 24 hours,
• cutaneous reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.

- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study using the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test method according to OECD guideline 406, EC B.6, US/EPA/OPPTS 870.2600 and GLP (CIT report No. 32371 TSG, 2007), scored as validity 1 according to Klimisch criteria, neodymium tris (di-2-ethylhexylphosphate) was administered to 1 to 2 months old Hartley Guinea pigs (5 controls and 10 treated/sex in the main test).
An induction treatment was carried out as follow:
On Day 1, 3 pairs of intradermal injections were performed in the interscapular region of all animals:
- Freund’s Complete Adjuvent (FCA) diluted to 50 % (v/v) with 0.9% NaCl (both groups),
- Test substance at the concentration of 0.5% (w/w) in corn oil (treated group) or vehicle alone (control group),
- Test substance at the concentration of 0.5% (w/w) in corn oil in a mixture of FCA/0.9 % NaCl (50/50, w/w) (treated group) or vehicle at the concentration of 50 % (w/v) in a mixture of FCA/0.9% NaCl (50/50, v/v) (control group).
On Day 8, the animals of the treated group received a topical application of the test item at the concentration of 10% (w/w) in corn oil to the same test site, which was then covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours. The animals of the control group received an application of the vehicle under the same experimental conditions.
On Day 22, all animals of both groups were challenged by a cutaneous application of the test item at the concentration of 5% (w/w) in corn oil to the right flank. The test item was maintained under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The vehicle was applied to the left flank under the same experimental conditions.
Skin reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing, by grading for erythema and oedema.
No deaths and no clinical signs were noted during the study.
After the challenge application of the test item, no cutaneous reactions were observed in the animals of the control group.
In the treated group, no cutaneous reactions were noted on the left flank (vehicle application) of the animals.
On the right flank (test item application), only a dryness of the skin was observed in 1/20 and 5/20 animals at the 24 and 48-hour readings, respectively.
From the results obtained, neodymium tris (di-2-ethylhexylphosphate) is not classified as skin sensitizer according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
This skin sensitisation study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for a skin sensitisation study (OECD, EU, US) in the guinea pigs.
Referenceopen allclose all
Clinical examinations: no deaths and no clinical signs were noted during the study.
Body weight: the body weight change of the treated animals was similar to that of controls.
On removal of the dressing, no residual test item was observed.
No cutaneous reactions were observed in the animals of the control group.
In the treated group, no cutaneous reactions were noted on the left flank (vehicle application) of the animals. On the right flank (test item application), only a dryness of the skin was observed in 1/20 and 5/20 animals at the 24 and 48-hour readings, respectively.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A skin sensitization study is available on neodymium tris (di-2-ethylhexylphosphate). This study was performed according to OECD guideline n° 406 (and EU B.6 and US/EPA/OPPTS 870.2600) and in accordance with GLP. This study was thus scored as validity 1 according to Klimisch criteria and then was selected as the Key study.
In a dermal sensitization study using the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test method according to OECD guideline 406, EC B.6, US/EPA/OPPTS 870.2600 and GLP (CIT report No. 32371 TSG, 2007), scored as validity 1 according to Klimisch criteria, neodymium tris (di-2-ethylhexylphosphate) was administered to 1 to 2 months old Hartley Guinea pigs (5 controls and 10 treated/sex in the main test).

On Day 8, the animals of the treated group received a topical application of the test item at the
concentration of 10% (w/w) in corn oil to the same test site, which was then covered by an
occlusive dressing for 48 hours. The animals of the control group received an application of the
vehicle under the same experimental conditions.
On Day 22, all animals of both groups were challenged by a cutaneous application of the test item at the concentration of 5% (w/w) in corn oil to the right flank. The test item was maintained under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The vehicle was applied to the left flank under the same experimental conditions.
Skin reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing, by grading for erythema and oedema.
No deaths and no clinical signs were noted during the study.

On the right flank (test item application), only a dryness of the skin was observed in 1/20 and 5/20 animals at the 24 and 48-hour readings, respectively.
From the results obtained, neodymium tris (di-2-ethylhexylphosphate) is not classified as skin sensitizer according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
Migrated from Short description of key information:
No indication of skin sensitization potential in vivo in a Guinea-Pig Maximization Test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the classification criteria of Annex VI Directive 67/548/EEC or UN/EU GHS, and given the absence of positive reactions in a GPMT, neodymium tris (di-2-ethylhexylphosphate) is not classified as a skin sensitizer.
No data are available for respiratory sensitisation; therefore no conclusion can be made on the classification of this end-point.
