- Conclusions:
- The vapour pressure of the test substance was 0.0066 Pa at 25°C.
- Executive summary:
The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined using an Ebulliometer (LIMS:1833, PQ Done:11/03/10, PQ Due:11/09/10) in accordance with EU guideline A.4. The value extrapolated to 25°C was 0.0066 Pa.
The sample gave a colour change during the experiment; therefore, it is possible that sample degradation had occurred. Sample 10423676 gave acceptable data, however, extrapolation of data was required to give vapour pressure data at 25°C and as such, the vapour pressure value reported is outside of the recommended range of the technique and this will affect the accuracy of the determination. Further assessment of the vapour pressure may be possible, if required, using the Gas Saturation Method to allow a more accurate value to be given.

This method is most appropriate for the evaluation of vapour pressure values ranging from 10^-4 to 10^-2 hPa. The method is not suitable for vapour pressure values above 10^-2 hPa.
Values that deviated significantly from the regression curve were not included in the analysis for the following reasons:
For values significantly too high:
Annealing effects (typical of the first measuring cycle) or substance condensation on the oven cap simulate an increased density of vapour stream.
For values significartly too low:
Substance condensation at the orifice or the oven exhaust duct reduces the cross section of the vapour stream.
This method is most suitable for the evaluation of compounds having a vapour pressure of 1 to 1000 hPa. The most suitable temperature range is 20°C to 250°C.

Additional information
The vapour pressure of test substance was measured in 3 studies. All three studies were performed according to the current EU method A4.
In one of these studies, the vapour pressure balance method was used, whereas the dynamic method was used in the 2 other studies.
In the key study using the dynamic method, vapour pressure values ranging from 11 to 63 mbar (corresponds to hPa) were observed for temperatures ranging from 189.0°C to 226.5°C. The vapour pressure extrapolated at a temperature of 25°C is 0.0066 Pa. In the second study using this method, vapour pressure values of 1.1, 11.2, and 77.0 hPa were obtained at temperatures of 150°C, 200°C, and 250°C, respectively. Both results are scientifically reliable and fall within the same range. As the extrapolated value at 25°C was not given in the second study report, the first study using dynamic method was used as the key study, whereas the second study using this method is used as a supporting study. With the vapour pressure balance method, values in the range of 7.7 x 10-6 to 2.3 x 10-4 hPa were obtained for temperatures ranging from 20°C to 50°C which is in the same range as the values obtained with the dymanic method. Nevertheless, the lowest value of 7.7 x 10-6 hPa is below the limit of this method (10-4hPa).
Therefore the result is less reliable and used as a supporting study.
