Type of method:
method to determine freezing temperature
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -50 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Remarks on result:
other: < -50 °C or < 223 K
Conclusions:
The freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to be less than 223 K (or < -50 °C).
Executive summary:

The melting/freezing temperature was determined using OECD TG 102 and EU Method A. 1 - crystallisation point / freezing temperature method under GLP. The mean freezing temperature of the test item has been determined to be less than 223 K or less than -50 °C at 1 atmosphere pressure.
