Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.060.
Executive summary:

The density of the test item was determined according to EEC Method A.3 "Relative Density", under GLP conditions. The pycnometer method was used and the relative density was calculated by dividing the mass of the tested material by its volume. Clean and dry pycnometer together with stopper and cap was weighed in laboratory scale to the nearest 0.0001 g and then filled with standard water of purity 3 and thermostated to the test temperature (20 ºC). The pycnometer containing the water was dried, cooled and weighed. In order to determine the mass of the tested material, the pycnometer was filled with the material, thermostated and weighed after drying and cooling. Two trials were performed. The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.060 g/ml (average value) and the relative density was 1.060 .
