Final results:

Density*: p = ( 1.23 ± 0.03) E+03 kg/m3

Temperature:  22 °C

The indicated error is  based on an accuracy  of 0.05E0-6 m3 for  the  volume measurement.

*Average of analysis I and II

Conclusions:
The density of the test substance is 1.23E+03 kg/m3 at 22 °C.
Executive summary:
To determine the density of the test substance, a GLP-compliant study was performed using the pycnometer method according to OECD TG 109. The density was found to be 1.23E+03 kg/m3, corresponding to a relative density of 1.23, at 22 °C.
