Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point was aimed to be determined in a scientifically well-conducted study according to OECD TG 102, the results are hence sufficiently reliable. Melting started at 202°C, decomposition started at 206°C, most probably due to ammonia elimination based on the test item's molecular structure.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test material ammonium-3-nitrobenzoatewas determined experimentally using the capillary method in a non-GLP test according to OECD guideline 102. The test material started to melt at 202°C, decomposition started at 206°C.
