Conclusions:
The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be 4.5E-9 Pa at 20 °C, 1.1E-8 at 25 °C and 7.8E-7 at 50 °C, respectively.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 104 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.4 to determine the vapour pressure of the test item. The vapour pressure was measured in the temperature range of 28 °C to 146 °C using the effusion method (vapour pressure balance). Above 106 °C a vapour pressure could be measured. The vapour pressure was calculated using the linear regression equation of the Log P versus 1/T function. The vapour pressure of the test substance was determined to be 4.5E-9 Pa at 20 °C, 1.1E-8 at 25 °C and 7.8E-7 at 50 °C, respectively.
