Conclusions:
Based on the observed results and applying the evaluation criteria it was concluded, that 4,4'-Diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-dicyclohexylmethane shows a skin irritation potential in the EpiDerm™ skin corrosion/irritation test under the test conditions chosen.
Executive summary:

The potential of 4,4'-Diamino-3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-dicyclohexylmethane to cause dermalcorrosion/irritation was assessed by a single topical application of the test substance to a reconstructed three dimensional human epidermis model (EpiDerm™). For the corrosion test two EpiDerm™ tissue samples were incubated with the test substance for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. The irritation test was performed with three EpiDerm™ tissue samples, which were incubated with the test substance for 1 hour followed by a 42-hours post-incubation period. Tissue destruction was determined by measuring the metabolic activity of the tissue after exposure/post-incubation using a colorimetric test. The reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by reduced formazan production after incubation with a tetrazolium salt (MTT) was chosen as suitable endpoint. The formazan production of the testsubstance treated epidermal tissues is compared to that of negative control tissues. The quotient of the values indicates the relative tissue viability.
