Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant colour, physical state and odour study conducted in accordance with sound scientific principles, the test material was determined to be an oily, viscous liquid with a strong, sweet odour and a brownish yellow colour with Munsell Notation 7.5Y 8.0/4.0.

Description of key information

An oily, viscous liquid with a strong, sweet odour and a brownish yellow colour with Munsell Notation 7.5Y 8./4.0; study conducted in accordance with sound scientific principles; Riggs (2000a).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Visual and organoleptic evaluations were made on the physical state, colour and odour of the test material in two studies performed with pure and technical material. The pure material was described as an oily viscous liquid with a strong, sweet odour and a brownish yellow colour.

The study performed using the pure material was selected as they key study as the test material had a greater purity than the study using the technical material. Both studies were performed in line with GLP with the key study being performed in line with sound scientific principles and the supporting study being performed in line with standardised guidelines. The key study was assigned a reliability score of 2 and the supporting study a reliability score of 1.
