In vitro test system
- Test system:
- human skin model
- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Cell source:
- foreskin from a single donor
- Justification for test system used:
- This test uses the EpiDerm™ reconstructed human epidermis model (MatTek) which consists of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and therefore represents in vitro the target organ of the species of interest and closely mimics the biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human, i.e. the epidermis. This test method is able to detect chemicals that cause skin irritation, i.e. produce reversible damage to the skin and allows the hazard identification of irritant substances in accordance with UN GHS Category 1 or Category 2. The reconstructed human epidermis model system is suitable to test solids, liquids, semi-solids and waxes.
- Vehicle:
- other: The skin surface was moistened with 25 µL Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline for better contact of the test item to the skin.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Test for interference of chemicals with MTT
No discolouration of the test item was noted neither in sterile water nor isopropanol.
No change of colour in MTT solution was noted.
Results
The mean viability of cells exposed to the test item was 118.7 % of the negative controls and hence was well above the cut-off percentage cell viability value that distinguishes irritant from non-irritant test items of > 50 %. The test item was considered to be non-cytotoxic and predicted to be non-irritant to skin.
The mean optical density (OD) of 3 negative control tissues was 1.418 and was well within the acceptable range of ≥ 1.0 to ≤ 2.5. The viability of cells treated with the positive reference item, 5 % SDS, was 6.1 % of the negative control and fulfilled the acceptance criterion of ≤ 20 %. The standard deviation determined for all triplicates was below the limit of acceptance of 18 %. Hence, all acceptance criteria required were fulfilled.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test item was non-cytotoxic after an exposure time of 60 minutes and a 42-hour post-treatment incubation period in an artificial three-dimensional model of human skin. The test item did not show irritant properties and is therefore not classified as irritant (UN GHS no category).
- Executive summary:
In this study according to OECD guideline 439, the potential of N,N'-Methylenebis[methacrylamide] to induce skin irritation was analysed by using a three-dimensional human epidermis model (RhE). The test substance was applied topically for 60 min followed by a 42 h post-incubation period and immediate determination of cytotoxic effects via MTT reduction assay.
All controls confirmed the validity of the study. N,N'-Methylenebis[methacrylamide] showed no irritant effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was >50 % (118.7 %) after 60 min treatment and 42 h post-incubation.
Hence, N,N'-methylenebis[methacrylamide] is classified as “non-irritant” in accordance with EU GHS “No Category”.
