Additional information
No information on the test methods used is available in the Merck handbook (O'Neil 2006). However, this information is taken from a peer reviewed handbook and so can be considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. The result is supported by data from the CRC Handbook (Lide 2008).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
