Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Melting point / freezing point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 30 November to 2 December 2021
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Justification for type of information:
- A non-GLP study was conducted according to protocol developed by fragrance industry. The substance is adequately identified. Therefore full validation applies.
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: According to guideline EFFA/EFEO guideline "The Registration for REACH of Natural Complex Substances used as Fragrance Ingredients"
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test substance is a mixture of substances and transition from liquid to solid will not be sharp.
The EFFA/EFEO guideline "The Registration for REACH of Natural Complex Substances used as Fragrance Ingredients”, reccommends to describe the state of the an essential oil after two days at +5°C and -20 °C rather than determining a transition temperature. - GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- other: visual observation
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- < -20 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: Experimental Pressure non specified but supposed to be the atmospheric pressure
- Conclusions:
- The freezing point of the test susbtance was stated to be lower than -20ºC.
- Executive summary:
A non-GLP experimental test was conducted according to the methodology proposed by the EFFA/EFEO guideline "The Registration for REACH of Natural Complex Substances used as Fragrance Ingredients”. By visual observation it was found that the test item was a mobile liquid at 20ºC and a mobile liquid after 43 hours at -21.16ºC (average registered temperature). Therefore, it was concluded that the freezing point of the test susbtance was lower than -20ºC.
Reference
After 24 hours (and even 43 hours) of freezing, the test item was still liquid as on the first day.
Maximum recorded temperature: -20.00°C
Minimal recorded Temperature: -22.31°C
Average Temperature: -21.16 °C.
Description of key information
The freezing point of test substance is stated to be lower than -20°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A fully reliable experimental study is available, based on observation at given temperature (-20°C), as recommended for NCS: the substance remained liquid at the temperature tested.
Results expressed as limit values cannot be retained as key data for purpose of CSA.
