- Conclusions:
- The test was carried out according to OECD guideline 102 and EC method A.1 without deviations, hence, the following result for the test material can be considered as reliable (Klimisch 1): The test was started at 30 °C with a heating rate of 5 K/min. At about 200 °C the colour of the test item changed from red to black. At about 320 °C the colour of the test item changed to reddish then to black again. The test item did not melt and no melting point could be determined. The study is reliable and therefore Klimisch f
- Executive summary:
The test was carried out according to OECD guideline 102 and EC method A.1. The test was started at 30 °C with a heating rate of 5 K/min. At about 200 °C the colour of the test item changed from red to black. At about 320 °C the colour of the test item changed to reddish then to black again. The test item did not melt. No melting point could be determined.
