Administrative data

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2008-11-07
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: guideline recommendations - According to “Endpoint specific guidance R.7.1.10.1” the test does not need to be conducted if the melting/freezing point is below -20 °C.Futher study is scientifically unjustified after a preliminary test.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The substance was placed in 247 K (-26 °C) for approximately 24 h and was then visually examined. As it was still in a liquid phase, it was concluded
that the substance has a melting point below 253 K (-20 °C).
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: freezer at -26°C

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Melting point/freezing point: < 253 K (< -20 °C)
Executive summary:

Melting point/freezing point: < 253 K (< -20 °C)

Futher study is scientifically unjustified after a preliminary test.

According to “Endpoint specific guidance R.7.1.10.1” the test does not need to be conducted if the

melting/freezing point is below -20 °C.
