RESULTS

The melting point was 252.1, 252.1, and 252.0 °C for the three replicates. The mean melting point was 252.1 °C.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test substance was determined to be 252.1 °C.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the melting temperature of the test substance according to EEC Method A.1 and in compliance with GLP. Using the differential scanning calorimetry method, the mean melting temperature obtained from three measurement was 252.1 °C.
