Conclusions:
Based on the measured results, the vapour pressure of the test item was calculated to be 5.52 x 10^-3 Pa at 20 °C and 5.35 x 10^-1 Pa at 50 °C.
Executive summary:

The vapour pressure of the test item was measured using the Knudsen effusion method (mass loss technique), according to the guidelines OECD 104 / EU A.4. The quality of the apparatus was previously verified with the measurement of well-known reference compounds. Experiments were performed at three temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C. Based on the results, the vapour pressure of the test item was calculated to be 5.52 x 10^-3 Pa at 20 °C and 5.35 x 10^-1 Pa at 50 °C.
