Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Remarks:
Handbook data are considered from a trusted source. Data have been taken from many sources, including both compilations and the primary literature - where conflicts were found, the value deemed most reliable was chosen. The reference was peer-reviewed. In addition, the reference sources are indicated although not leading to sufficient information on the material & method used.
