Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: This study has been performed on the member named "G" of the category according to OECD No 102
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The objective of the test is to determine the temperature at which a test item changes from the solid state to the liquid state (melting) and the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to 101.325 kPa, the normal atmospheric pressure (boiling) under nitrogen and at the atmospheric pressure using the Differential Scanning
Calorimetry method (DSC).
GLP compliance:
yes
Conclusions:
The mean melting point of the test item was (on 2 assays): 59.5 ± 0.5 °C.
