Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

experimental phase from February 09 to 10, 2015

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 relevant deviation was reported. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.

Table 4.4/2: Results - Mean Values

 

Parameter	Value	Unit	Standard deviation	Relative Standard deviation
Volume of Pycnometer	25.58	cm^3	0.0140	0.05 %
Density of Test item	0.9015	g/cm^3	0.0004	0.04 %
Density of Test item	901.5	kg/m^3	0.4	0.04 %
Relative Density of Test item (d^204)	0.9015		0.0004	0.04 %

The two determinations were within the validity criteria (repeatability < 0.5%), therefore no additional measurement was performed.

density of water at test temperature: 0.9982 g*cm^-3at 20.0^oC (CRC Handbook, 2009)

density of water at 4°C: 0.999975 g*cm^-3 (CRC Handbook, 2009)

Deviation: The following deviation from the study plan was documented: the test item was stored in a fridge at 2-8 °C, instead of the recommended 11-25°C range. This is uncritical the sponsor confirmed that storage at this lower temperature for the present study will have no impact.

Conclusions:

The test substance is less dense than water.

Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, pycnometer method. Experiment was performed at 20 °C in duplicate, and the mean density was calculated. The relative density was calculated vs water at 4°C.

The density of the test substance has been determined to be 0.9015 ± 0.0004 g/cm³ at 20.0 ± 0.2 °C.

The relative density (D20/4) is 0.9015.

Description of key information

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
