5.2. Aims of the study 

The purpose of the study was to obtain structural information of the test substance by 

measuring absorption wavelengths in the IR region. 

5.3. Guidelines 

The study procedure described in this report is based on the following guideline: 

Manual of Decisions for Implementation of the Sixth and Seventh Amendments to Directive 

67/548/EEC on Dangerous Substances (Directives 79/831/EEC AND 92/32/EEC), Chapter 9.6 

"Guidance on Spectral Analysis", Updated Version of June 2005. 

5.4. Storage and retention of records and materials 

Records and materials pertaining to the study including protocol, raw data, specimens (except 

specimens requiring refrigeration or freezing) and the final report are retained in the NOTOX 

archives for a period of at ieast 10 years after finalization of the report. After this period, the 

sponsor will be contacted to determine whether raw data and specimens should be returned to 

them, retained or destroyed on their behalf. 

T'hose specimens requiring refrigeration or freezing will be retained by NOTOX for as long as 

the quality of the specimens permits evaluation but no longer than three months after finalization 

of the report. 

NO'T OX will retain a test substance sample until the expiry date, but no longer than 10 years 

after finalization of the report. After this period the sample will be destroyed.

6.1.2. Study specific test substance information 

General information Above 50°C slight oxidation might occur on contact with 

oxygen 

Test substance handling I-fygroscopic (slightly) 

6.2. IR spectrometer 

FTIR 8400-S spectrophotometer (Shimadz« Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) 

6.3. Electronic data capture 

System control, data acquisition and data processing were periormed using the following 

programme: 

- Shimadzu IRsotution software version 1.10 (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). 

Temperature during performance of the study was monitored continuously using the following 

programme: 

- REES Monitoring system version 1.5 (REES Scientific, Trenton, NJ, USA). 

6.4. PerPormance of the test 

Band positions in infrared spectra are presented either as wave numbers or wavelengths. The 

wave number (cm') is directly proportional to the energy of vibration. Wavelength is reported in 

micrometers (pm). Wave numbers are reciprocally related to the wavelength as follows: 

cm -, =-

1 

 x10 4 

pm 

Specific absorptions and absorption ranges are given in cm"'. Band intensities are expressed as 

transmittance (T), which is the ratio of the radiant power transmitted by a sample to the radiant 

power incident on the sample. 

A MKII Golden GateTlf Single Reflection Diamond ATR System (Specac inc., Smyrna, USA) in 

combination with KRS-5 lenses (5000-300 cm -1 ) was used to record the IR spectrum of the test 

substance.

Lithium iron phosphate NOTOX Project 467731 

After a successful performance check of the FT IR spectrometer with a standard polystyrene 

sample, a background spectrum of the optical unit was recorded. Subsequently, a sample of the 

test substance was applied to the surface of the diamond and compressed between the 

diamond and anvil. The IR-spectrum of the test substance was recorded between 4000 cm - ' 

and 400 cm- ' at a resolution of 2 cm"' and at room temperature. 

6.5. List of deviations 

6.5.1. List of protocoi deviations 

There were no deviations from the protocol. 

6.5.2. List of standard operating procedures deviations 

Any deviations from standard operating procedures (SOPs) were evaluated and filed in the 

study file. There were no deviations from SOPs that affected the integrity of the study.
