Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item has been determined to be 133.4 ± 0.5 °C (406.5 ± 0.5 K).
Executive summary:

The melting point is determined to be 133.4 ± 0.5 °C (406.5 ± 0.5 K), by differential scanning calorimetry, 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.
