Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The determination of the test item's appearance / physical state / colour was determined scientifically reasonably by visual and sensorical inspection. There is no indication given that the results are not reliable. Hence, the substance can be considered as yellowish solid with a slightly amine-like odour.
Executive summary:

The appearance / physical state / colour of Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with tetraethylenepentamine was determined by visual inspection / sensorial observation. It was determined to be a yellowish solid (pellets) with a slightly amine-like odour at 20 °C and 1013 hPa.
