Mean reference cell volume: 90.834 cm3

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within defined tolerances (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was considered acceptable for use.

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1090 kg/m3 at 19.0 ± 0.5°C and a relative density of 1.09.
Executive summary:

The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.09 x 103kg/m3at 19.0 ± 0.5 °C, relative density of 1.09, using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A.3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 02 October 2012.
