Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Conclusions:
According to OECD Test Guideline 109 (2012) and Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Part A. Method A.3., the relative density of the test item at 20 °C ± 0.01 °C (compared to water at 4 °C) is 0.989.
Executive summary:

Relative density of the test item was determined using a calibrated oscillating densitometer at a temperature of 20 °C. All measurements were carried out in triplicate. A calibration with purified-water was carried out at first. The reference value for the density at 20 °C is 0.9982 g/cm³ with an allowable tolerance of ± 0.0005 g/cm³. The density and relative density were calculated automatically by the software of the equipment at the end of the experiment with an estimated accuracy of ± 0.0005 g/cm³. According to OECD Test Guideline 109 (2012) and Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Part A. Method A.3., the relative density of the test item at 20 °C ± 0.01 °C (compared to water at 4 °C) is 0.989.
