EC number: 270-348-8 | CAS number: 68425-34-3
Appearance / physical state / colour
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- appearance / physical state / colour
- Type of information:
- other: visual observation
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- There is no guideline method for this endpoint. Data presented based on visual observation, but data on pour point/melting point support the statement on physical state of the substance at ambient temperature. Therefore the resitrant conclude this observation as reliable with restrictions.
