Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2004-2006
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Justification for type of information:
Data comes from the description of the test substance in the GLP report on other physico-chemical properties. Even if no guideline is required according to REACh TGD, the study was carried out according to a specific testing guideline and under GLP. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Pesticides Research Department method METDESCR (visual method_)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Assessment of conformity with GLP on March 5, 2004; certificate date 17th May 2004

Additional information

GLP experimental studies were conducted for the determination of physicochemical properties of the substance, including fully reliable description of the test sample.

No guideline is required according to REACh TGD.

The result is retained as key value.
