The first test series and Experiment 1 of the second test series (nominal temperature 30 °C) showed no significant weight loss. Three experiments could be evaluated as they showed relevant and reproducible weight loss. All evaluated experiments showed good reproducibility, giving relative standard deviations of less than 25.3 % and very good correlation. Therefore, the result of the test can be considered valid.

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test item was determined at six different temperatures (30, 40, 50 °C at the first test series and 30, 45, 60 and 75 °C at the second test series) following EU A.4 using the effusion method (weight loss). Vapour pressure was determined to be 4.03E-3 Pa at 20 °C and 6.12E-3 Pa at 25 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of test item was determined following OECD 104 and EU A.4 using the effusion method (weight loss). A first test series with shorter time intervals and temperatures of 30, 40 and 50 °C were conducted, but yielded no relevant mass loss. Therefore, the test was repeated with adapted test conditions. In the second test series with adapted conditions the vapour pressure was examined at four different temperatures (30, 45, 60 and 75 °C). Three temperatures could be evaluated as they showed reproducible weight loss. For these temperatures, 1/T was plotted against log (P). The graph 1/T vs. log (P) showed a straight line with a correlation coefficient of -1.0000. For the test item the following vapour pressures at 20 °C and at 25 °C were calculated from the regression equation:

Vapour pressure at 20 °C: 4.03E-3 Pa

Vapour pressure at 25 °C: 6.12E-3 Pa
