Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance changed color from colorless to pale yellow.  This temperature was recorded as the decomposition point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance decomposed at 207 degrees C.
Executive summary:

The substance was added to a capillary tube to a depth of 3-5 mm.  The capillary tube was then placed in a heating block.  The temperature was set to 10 degrees C below the expected decomposition temperature.  The temperature was then raised 1 degree C per minute.  The test substance was observed for signs of boiling and decomposition. The test substance changed color from colorless to pale yellow.  This temperature was recorded as the decomposition point.  The substance decomposed at 207 degrees C.
