The average of the two measurements is σcorr = 71.7 mN/m (Temperature: 20.0 ± 0.2 °C).

Conclusions:
The average surface tension of duplicate 1.0 g/L solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 71.7 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of the test item has been determined using the plate method in accordance with OECD TG 115 and in compliance with GLP. The average surface tension of two measurements of 1.0 g/L solutions of test item in water has been determined to be 71.7 mN/m at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.
