Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using a modified liquid bath method, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995 and Method 830.7200 of the OCSPP Guidelines. The determination was performed from 20 °C, at a rate of approximately 1 - 3 °C/min with observations noted and conducted in duplicate. The test item has been determined to melt over the range approximately 55 to 100 °C (328 to 373 K).

Description of key information
