other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

The physical state was determined by visual assessment, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method 830.6303 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996; the colour was determined by visual assessment and using the Munsell® Colour System, using procedures designed to be compatible with Method 830.6302 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996. The work described was performed in compliance with UK GLP standards (Schedule 1, Good Laboratory Practice Regulations 1999 (SI 1999/3106 as amended by SI 2004/0994)). These Regulations are in accordance with GLP standards published as OECD Principles on Good Laboratory Practice (revised 1997, ENV/MC/CHEM(98)17); and are in accordance with, and implement, the requirements of Directives 2004/9/EC and 2004/10/EC.

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:

liquid

Remarks:

A transparent amber slightly viscous liquid

Form:

viscous

Colour:

The colour was determined by visual assessment and using the Munsell® Colour System, using procedures designed to be compatible with Method 830.6302 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996.

Odour:

other: The odour was not determined using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method 830.6304 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996, since the test item had not been fully tested and inhalation effects were unknown.

Substance type:

organic

Conclusions:

The test item has been determined to be a transparent amber slightly viscous liquid (Munsell® 7.5 Y 8.5/6) at 20.8 ± 0.5°C.

Executive summary:

Method

The physical state was determined by visual assessment, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method 830.6303 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996; the colour was determined by visual assessment and using the Munsell^®Colour System, using procedures designed to be compatible with Method 830.6302 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996. 

The odour was not determined using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method 830.6304 of the OPPTS Guidelines, August 1996, since the test item had not been fully tested and inhalation effects were unknown.
