Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Reaction and/or decomposition of the test item Petitgrain Oil - citrus aurantium was observed during DSC experiment at temperatures of > 100°C (> 373K). Boiling of the test item was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, Petitgrain Oil - citrus aurantium has no boiling temperature.
Executive summary:

The test item Petitgrain Oil - citrus aurantium has no boiling temparature, because the substance decomposes at temperatures >100ºC according to the test guidelines OECD 103, EU Method A.2 & OPPTS 830.7220.
