Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
There are no animal studies available which examine the sensitizing
properties of hydrazine.
In a maximization test with human volunteers hydrazine showed
sensitizing properties (Kligman 1966).
Despite numerous descriptions of irritative reactions of the respiratory passages to hydrazine in the literature, there is no evidence that hydrazine causes allergic reactions in the respiratory tract. Specific animal experiments are not available (SCOEL 2016).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)
- Additional information:
There are no animal studies available which examine the sensitizing properties of hydrazine.
In a maximization test with human volunteers hydrazine showed sensitizing properties (Kligman 1966). Hydrazin and its derivatives are skin sensitizing in man and may cause contact dermatitis, cross reactivity is also reported (Bundesinstitut für gesundheitlichen Verbraucherschutz und Veterinärmedizin [Kayser und Schlede, eds.], 2001).
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
Despite numerous descriptions of irritative reactions of the respiratory passages to hydrazine in the literature, there is no evidence that hydrazine causes allergic reactions in the respiratory tract (SCOEL 2016).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin sensitization
Under Regulation No. 1272/2008 (GHS), the substance is classified in Skin Sensitization Class 1, Hazard Statement H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction. Based on the study of Kligman (1966) a classification as Skin Sens. 1A is proposed.
Respiratory sensitization
According to the available information no classification/labelling is warranted.
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.
