Administrative data

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is inorganic
the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids
Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
data waiving: supporting information
Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
January 27, 2004
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
(1993)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
capillary method
Key result
Remarks on result:
other: Melting of the test substance was not observed at temperatures of ≤ 400°C (≤ 673K)

PRELIMINARY TEST

No melting of the test substance was observed. Also there was no visual change in the state of the test substance. Based on this result, performing the main test with the test substance is not needed.

 

MAIN TEST

The reference substance, chrysene, gave an average melting range of 252 - 255 °C, which, when compared to the expected melting point of 252 - 254 °C, indicated acceptable method accuracy.

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the substance was determined using a capillary tube in accordance with OECD 102 (1993). As melting of the substance was not observed at temperatures of ≤ 400°C (≤ 673K), the substance has no melting temperature (up to 400°C).
