Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be 8.1E-06 Pa at 20 °C, 1.8E-05 Pa at 25 °C and 6.9E-04 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 24 °C to 117 °C using the effusion method. The vapour pressure was calculated using the linear regression equation of the Log P versus 1/T function. The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be 8.1E-06 Pa at 20 °C, 1.8E-05 Pa at 25 °C and 6.9E-04 Pa at 50 °C, respectively.
