Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item has been determined to be 2.72 at 21.5 ± 0.5°C.
This study is conducted according to an appropriate guideline and under the conditions of GLP and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy both the guideline requirement and the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test material has been determined to be 2.72 at 21.5 ± 0.5°C, using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Description of key information

One key study exists. This study (Wooley A, 2010) was conclusive, done to a valid guideline (EU Method A.3) and the study was conducted under GLP conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The relative density of the test item has been determined to be 2.72 at 21.5 ± 0.5°C.
