Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the colour/physical state/odour of the purified test material was determined to be a white crystalline solid with a musty odour.
Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant colour/physical state/odour study conducted in compliance with standardised guidelines EPA OPPTS 830.6302, 830.6303 and 830.6304, the colour/physical state/odour of the test material was determined. Under the conditions of the test, the purified test material was determined to be a white crystalline solid with a musty odour.

Description of key information

The test material was determined to be a white, crystalline solid with a musty odour according to a study performed in line with EPA OPPTS 830.6302, 830.6303 and 830.6304.

Additional information

The key study (Chee-Chue, 2002) was performed in line with GLP and standardised guidelines with a sufficient level of detail to assess the quality of the study. The study was performed to a good standard and was assigned a reliability score of 1 using the principle for assessing data quality as set out in Klimisch (1997).

The supporting study (Berkel et al., 1987) was assigned a reliability score of 2 using the principle for assessing data quality as set out in Klimisch (1997).
