- 2008-12-01 to 2008-12-04
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: GLP guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- capillary method
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- - Name of test material (as cited in study report): Dibenzyltoluene
- Substance type: product
- Physical state: liquid
- Lot/batch No.: 0845
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: 2009-10-08 at the earliest
- Storage condition of test material: in a closed vessel at room temperature (20 ± 5°C)
- Other:
Production date: 2008-10-08
Appearance: colourless to yellow, clear liquid - Melting / freezing pt.:
- -38.5 - -32.8 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: Standard deviation: 0.35 (begin); 0.35 (end)
- Conclusions:
- The determination was performed in duplicate. In both determinations, a melting range was detected.
The melting range was determined as -38.5 to -32.8 °C (234.8 to 240.5 K). This value is the mean of two indipendent determinations.
