Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1995-02-20 to 1995-07-15
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation affected the quality of the study. Purity and isomers composition are available from the notifier. Therefore full validation applies.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to other study
Qualifier:
according to guideline

EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
UK GLP compliance programme (inspected on 31 January 1994 / signed on 16 March 1994)
Type of method:
pycnometer method

d = density of water at 20.0°C (kg/m3) 998.20
Density of test material (kg/m3) 938.22 938.44

Mean density of test material = 938.33 kg/m3

Density of water at 4.0°C = 1000.0 kg/m3

Relative density of test material = 938.33 / 1000 = 0.93833

Conclusions:
The substance is less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according EU A3 guideline, pycnometer method.

Two runs were performed, and the mean density at 20.0°C was calculated. This results was then converted to relative density towards water at 4°C.

The density of the test substance at 20.0°C is 938.33 kg/m3, and its relative density (D20°C/4°C) is 0.938.

Description of key information

Density at 20°C is 938.33 kg/m3

Relative density (D 20/4) = 0.93833

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.938

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method and under GLP, is available. It is therefore considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data for purpose of CSA.
