Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Carried out in house following ISO approved method, testing laboratory is ISO 9001 compliant but full report is not audited.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: in-house method
Principles of method if other than guideline:
8g of test substance are compressed to 800psi using a cam press and small dye, the compressed material is then added to the sample chamber of the pycnometer and measurements carried out according to the operating instructions of the instrument.
GLP compliance:
no
