Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 14 to 22, 2007
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Version / remarks:
adopted by the Council on 27th July 1995
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Not applicable
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Swiss GLP compliance programme (inspected on November 15 and 16, 2006/ signed on March 29, 2007)
Type of method:

Key result
Type:
relative density
Density:
0.974 other: relative density is unitless
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: 20 +/- 0.5°C

Determination 1: 0.973 at 20 °C

Determination 2: 0.974 at 20 °C

Determination 3: 0.974 at 20 °C

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 0.974 g/m3 at 20 ± 0.5 °C.
The test substance is slightly less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, oscillating densitimeter method. After suitable calibration using two reference substances, a sample was measured in triplicate at 20 °C, and the mean relative density was calculated.

The relative density of the test substance has been determined to be 0.974 at 20 ± 0.5 °C.

Description of key information

The relative density of the test substance has been determined to be 0.974 at 20 ± 0.5 °C.

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.974

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method (oscillating densitymeter method) and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study.

The result is retained as key data for purpose of CSA.
