Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental start date: 13 January 2016, Experimental completion date: 13 January 2016
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OPPTS 830.6302 (Color)

Key result
Form:
liquid
Colour:
brown (transparent)
Odour:
pungent
Substance type:
organic
Conclusions:
In a reliable and conclusive study, the appearance (colour, physical state and odour) of the test item was determined at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C by visual assessment to be transparently brown in colour and in the physical state of a liquid. During handling of the test item, an extremely strong, pungent odour was noticeable, which was recorded as earthy and solvent like.
Executive summary:

The appearance (colour, physical state and odour) of the test item was investigated at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C in a non-GLP study using visual inspection and normal smelling without deep inhalation equivalent to the OPPTS 830.6302 (1996), 830.6303 (1996) and 830.6304 (1996) protocols. The experiment is considered relevant, adequate and conclusive.

The test item was determined to be transparent brown in colour and in the physical state of a liquid. During handling of the test item, an extremely strong, pungent odour was noticeable, which was recorded as earthy and solvent like.
