- Endpoint:
- appearance / physical state / colour
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 19-25 October 2016
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
- Justification for type of information:
- Data come from the description of the test substance in the GLP report on other physico-chemical properties. No guideline is required according to REACh TGD. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Visual observation
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Remarks:
- GLP certificate (inspected on 13 and 14 October 2014 / signed on 8 April 2015)
- Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
- liquid
- Remarks:
- wax, not mobile but considered as liquid due to the results of the study related to the determination of the freezing point of the substance
- Key result
- Form:
- other: wax, not mobile
- Colour:
- orange-red
- Substance type:
- organic
- Conclusions:
- The substance is an orange-red wax, not mobile at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
- Executive summary:
The data come from the description of the test substance reported in the GLP study reports on physico-chemical properties.
Reference
Description of key information
The test substance is an orange - red wax, not mobile at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Considering the result of melting point, <-20°C (see endpoint 4.2) , the substance is considered as a liquid.
Note also that considering the observation reported during the determination of the boiling point of the substance (see endpoint 4.3), the test item became a brown mobile liquid at 67 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
- liquid
Additional information
Data come from the description of the test substance in the GLP reports on other physico-chemical properties. The result is retained as key data.
