GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

A test on substance N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine was conducted for assessing the skin sensitization potential of the compound. The test was conducted according to the method of Magnusson and Kligmann which was comparable to the OECD guideline study 406 (1981) with deviations (no data of positive control, smaller number of test and control animals; 12 vs. 20).

The substance was applied on female guinea pigs with 2 groups of negative control (6 animals per group) and one test group (12 animals). For induction, a 5 % solution of test substance with water was injected intradermally and after 7 days applied epicutaneously. Then a first challenge 14 d after percutanous application and a 2nd challenge one week later was done with control and test substance (3 % in aqua dest.). No positive results were obtained for the test substance -neither in the challenge nor in the rechallenge application. Consequently the substance is to be considered as non-sensitizing in the Magnusson-Kligman-Test under the test conditions chosen.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
