Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The vapour pressure was stated to be 10 mmHg at 1860 °C;

Waiving according to column 2 of Annex VII of REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 18 December 2006, section 7.5.: "The study does not need to be conducted if the melting point is above 300°C."
Beryllium Metal Powder is an element and purely inorganic and solid at 20 °C and 1013.25 hPa. on the criteria given in the guideline the vapour pressure for Beryllium has not to be determined, as the boiling point is >300°C.
