Conclusions:

The freezing temperature of the test item was -8.3 ± 0.5ºC.

Executive summary:

Determination of the freezing point of the test item was carried out following OECD guideline 102 and EU method A1, under GLP conditions. The method of crystallization tube in freezing mixture solid CO2/acetone was used. The temperature of the sample was read with an accuracy of 0.1°C. Measurements were taken at different times until the test item achieved crystallization. Two repetitions were performed. The freezing point of the test item was determined to be -8.3 ± 0.5ºC.

Description of key information
