Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
- Migrated from Short description of key information:
According to the existing operating experience H2S does not produce a skin sensitisation.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Hydrogen sulphide is a gas which is naturally naturally arising from the earth, produced by degradation of organic material or produced by industrial processes. In industry long lasting operating experience exists with this gas. According to this experience some acute and subacute intoxication were observed but no relevant sensitisation was recorded. According to the existing operating experience H2S is not a skin sensitizer (Begründung zu Kohlenstoffdisulfid in TRGS 900, BAUA, 022009).
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
- Migrated from Short description of key information:
According to the existing operations experience H2S does not produce a respiratory sensitisation.

According to the existing operating experience H2S does not produce arespiratory sensitisation (Begründung zu Kohlenstoffdisulfid in TRGS 900, BAUA, 022009).
Justification for classification or non-classification
No sensitizing properties. Therefore, the substance does not need to be classified with regard to sensitisation according to CLP and DSD.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
