Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this handbook, a melting point of 996 °C is reported for sodium fluoride. This value is considered valid for an atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

In this handbook, a melting point of 996 °C is reported for sodium fluoride. This value is considered valid for an atmospheric pressure.

According to the ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, the Sax's Handbook should be considered as a peer-reviewed handbook. Hence, these parameters are considered as reliable with restrictions.
