Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The skin sensitisation of Lanthanum trichloride hexahydrate was investigated in a GLP-study according to OECD 429 (LLNA). CBA mice were treated by topical application with 5, 10 and 25% (w/v) test item for three consecutive days. The exposure to the highest test concentration resulted in a greater than 3-fold increase in incorporation of [³H]TdR compared to the concurrent control (indicated by the stimulation index).

Up to now, no case of contact dermatitis caused by Lanthanum trichloride is reported (Schnuch, A., 2010).

Migrated from Short description of key information:
Lanthanum trichloride hexahydrate (and corresponding Lanthanum chloride, anhydrous) was sensitising in the LLNA.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Additional information:

The respiratory sensitisation is not required.

Justification for classification or non-classification
