Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Calculation of the confidence interval (CI):

 

Mean value ± s * t / sqrt(N)

 

s: standard deviation

t: value t-table: 4.303 (two sided, P: 95% (f = N-1))

N: number of measurements

P: probability

f: degree of freedom

 

Average relative density D420: 0.96145 ± 0.004049 * 4.303 / sqrt(3)

 

Average relative density D420: 0.961 ± 0.010 (N = 3, P: 95 %)
