Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
25-06-2018 to 29-06-2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Visual observation of physical state and appearance by the testing laboratory
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Visual observation of physical state and appearance by the testing laboratory
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
inspected: July 2017 ; signature: November 2017
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Form:
liquid
Colour:
clear colourless or colourless
Substance type:
organic

Applicant assessment indicates: the definition of 'clear colourless' or 'colourless' is synonymous, in that there is no assertion of turbidity and/or clouding or similar terminology which deviates from clearness or clarity. A colourless liquid would be expected to be ‘clear’.

Conclusions:
The physical state and appearance of the test material were evaluated by visual observation. The test material was determined to be a clear colourless liquid or alternatively a colourless liquid.
Executive summary:

The appearance of the test substance has been determined as:

Form: liquid

Colour: clear colourless or alternatively: colourless

Other: During visual observation of physical state and appearance by the testing laboratory the test material were evaluated and determined to be a clear colourless or alternatively a colourless liquid. Both descriptions should be considered synonymous and an assertion as to the lack of turbidity or similar phenomena.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence: State of the substance at 20 °C and 101.3 kPa: clear colourless or colourless liquid, visual observation, 2020

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Form:
liquid
Colour:
colourless

Additional information

During visual observation(s) of physical state and appearance by the testing laboratory the test material(s) were evaluated and determined to be a clear colourless or alternatively a colourless liquid. Both descriptions should be considered synonymous and an assertion as to the lack of turbidity or similar phenomena.
