After the first and the second measurement series, the difference between mean values was less than 5%. Therefore no additional measurement series was required.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test sample was determined as 72.76 ± 0.08 mN/m at 19.8 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test sample was determined as 72.76 ± 0.08 mN/m at 19.8 °C according to OECD guideline 115 and EU Method A.5. One measurement was performed for verification (after 60 minutes). No significant changes and thus no significant dependence on time was observed.

As these values were higher than 60 mN/m, the test sample was classified as not surface active.

The surface tension of the negative control lay within the accepted range.
