Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.5625 with a standard deviation of 0.0148.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item was determined at 20 °C according to OECD 109, EU Method A.3 and DIN 51913. The relative density was determined using gas comparison pycnometer. As gas Helium type 5.0 was used. The determination was performed in triplicates with two replicates per measurement. The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.5625 with a standard deviation of 0.0148.

Description of key information
