Description of key information
The melting point of 3-nitrotoluene was determined in a series of experimental studies to be in the range of 15-16.1 °C .
The individual study reports (data from handbooks or collection of data) show some deficiencies with respect to the comprehensiveness of the experimental details. Therefore, a reliability of 1 or 2 and thus adequacy as key study was not assignable for any of the individual studies. Consequently, the studies were assigned a Klimisch score of 4 (according to guidance document R.4, ‘not assignable: studies or data […] which are only listed in short abstracts or secondary literature (books, reviews, etc.)). As the individual studies report values are in a similar range, collectively, these studies can be used to conclude on this endpoint and to satisfy the information requirement.

Hommel, G. (Handbuch der gefährlichen Güter), 1997
The melting point of 3-nitrotoluene is 16 °C (atmospheric pressure was not reported).
These values are supported by the data of the BUA report, 1989 (Lax et al. 1964, Verschueren 1983):
The melting point of 3-nitrotoluene is 15.5 °C (Atmospheric pressure was not reported. It is assumed to be 1 atm (=1013 hPa).).
The melting point of 16 °C was chosen as key-value for chemical saftey assessment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 16 °C
