Version / remarks:
Cited as Directive 92/69/EEC, A.2
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:

Atm. press.:
97 700 Pa
Decomposition:
no
A preliminary test for boiling under reduced pressure showed no boiling and no condensation up to 150°C at 14 mbar (i.e., 1400 Pa).
Therefore DSC was determined in a nitrogen atmosphere.

One preliminary test and 4 main test runs were performed resulting in a boiling range between 342.6-357.4°C (615.8-630.6 K) at 97,700 Pa.

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the boiling point of the test substance ranged from 342.6 to 357°C (i.e., 355°C) at 97,700 Pa.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the boiling point of the test substance using differential scanning calorimetry according to the OECD Guideline 103 and EU Method A.2, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, the boiling point of the test substance ranged from 342.6 to 357°C (i.e., 355°C) at 97,700 Pa (Tognucci, 2003).
