Division 2.2 TEST REPORT

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The test report must include the following information:

  • method used,

  • precise specification of the substance (identity and impurities) and preliminary purification step, if any,

  • at least two vapour pressure and temperature values — and preferably three or more — required in the range from 0 to 50 °C (or 120 to 150 °C),

  • at least one of the temperatures should be at or below 25 °C, if technically possible according to the chosen method,

  • all original data,

  • a log p versus 1/T curve,

  • an estimate of the vapour pressure at 20 or 25 °C.

If a transition (change of state, decomposition) is observed, the following information should be noted:

  • nature of the change,

  • temperature at which the change occurs at atmospheric pressure,

  • vapour pressure at 10 and 20 °C below the transition temperature and 10 and 20 °C above this temperature (unless the transition is from solid to gas).

All information and remarks relevant for the interpretation of results have to be reported, especially with regard to impurities and physical state of the substance.
