Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 conclusion
- Additional information:
No reliable key study on sensitising properties of selenous acid is available. Only one supportive human case report was cited in ATSDR (2003) and is summarised in section 7.10.4. However no clear conclusion on sensitising properties can be drawn from these case reports.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Since no clear conclusion on sensitising properties can be drawn from the available data on selenous acid, it is proposed to adopt the harmonised classification as laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations. Selenous acid (as part of the group entry "selenium compounds except cadmium sulphoselenide") is not classified for respiratory or skin sensitisation.
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.
