- 22.4 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: T = 22.4 ± 0.5 °C.
- Conclusions:
- Even though the test temperature deviated from the one determined in Method A3 (440/2008/EC), the effect on the final results can be neglected (see overall remarks).

Additional information
Even though the test temperature deviated from the one determined in Method A3 (440/2008/EC), the effect on the final results can be neglected in the case of a solid substance. With the exception of the test temperature, the method was followed and the density of the sodium form test item was determined to be 2.83 x 10^3 kg/m^3 at 22.4 ± 0.5 °C and to have a relative density of 2.83. The density of the sodium/hydrogen form was determined to be 2.97 x 10^3 kg/m^3 at 22.3 ± 0.5 °C and to have a relative density of 2.97.
