- Executive summary:
EU Method A.2. – The boiling point of the test item was determined using photocell detection. The procedure employed was designed to be compatible with Method A.2. Boiling Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
Aliquots of test item (5 – 10 mm) were placed in capillary tubes fused at one end and subjected to a thermal program from 10 K above ambient to 673 K. Heating was at a constant rate of 5K/min. The boiling point was reached when the flow of vapour bubbles reached a frequency of 0.6 Hz. Two determinations were carried out. The mean of both determinations is reported as the boiling temperature.
The thermographic data was used to determine the boiling point of the test item as 221.8 °C ± 0.5 °C at 1013 hPa.

* Boiling point: boiling temperature corrected to standard pressure of 1013 hPa.
Following the outcome of the preliminary test, the main test was started at 216 °C with a heating rate of 0.5 K/min.
Conversion of Units (K to °C): t = T-273.15 (t in °C and T in K)
Calculation of boiling point: Using Sidney Young equation, as per EU A.2./OECD 103.
