Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The pH determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 122 (Determination of pH, Acidity and Alkalinity). pH of 1% w/v solution was measured with the help of pH meter and it was observed to be 6.65 at 27 °C.
Executive summary:

Based on the available data from study report, the pH determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 122 (Determination of pH, Acidity and Alkalinity). pH of 1% w/v solution was measured with the help of pH meter and it was observed to be 6.65 at 27 °C.
