Remarks:
As the test item was a complex mixture, it was considered that the pour point method was the most appropriate test procedure.

The pour point of the preliminary test was -20 ± 3 °C (253 ± 3 K).

As the test item was a complex mixture, it was considered that the pour point method was the most appropriate test procedure.

Conclusions:
The pour point of the test item has been determined to be -21 ± 3 °C (252 ± 3 K).
Executive summary:

Melting/Freezing Point of the test substance is -21 ± 3 °C (252 ± 3 K), using a pour point method, designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
