Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Result was not corrected using the Harkins-Jordan correction table as correction was not applicalbe to the apparatus used. Instrument gave a direct reading for surface tension within +/- 0.5mN/m. This deviation did not affect the integrity of the study.
