point/melting range) . 

2 . Boiling point: ASTM E 1719-05 (ebulliometry). 

3. Vapor pressure: ASTM E 1782-08 (thermal analysis). 

4. N-Octanol/water partition coefficient (log 10 basis) or IogKow by appropriate method as 

specified as Method A, 40 CRFR 799.6755 (shake flask) ; Method B, ASTM E 1147-92 

(reapproved 2005) (liquid chromatography); or Method C, 40 CFR 799.6756 (generator 

column). 

5 . Water solubility: By appropriate test method as specified as Method A, ASTM E 1148-

02 (reapproved 2008) (shake flask) ; Method B, 40 CFR 799.6784 (shake flask) ; Method 

C, 40 CFR 799.6784 (column elution) ; or Method D, 40 CFR 799.6786 (generator 

column). 

6. Environmental fate and pathways - ready biodegradation : According to ISO 

10634:1995(E) guidance by one of the following : 1) ASTM E 1720-01 (reapproved 

2008) (sealed vessel C02 production test) ; 2) ISO 14593:1999(E) (C02 headspace test); 

3) ISO 7827:1994(E) (analysis of DOC); 4) ISO 9408:1999(E) (determination of oxygen 

demand in a closed respirometer); 5) ISO 9439:1999(E) (C02 evolution test); 6) ISO 

10707:1994(E) (closed bottle test); or 7) ISO 10708:1997(E) (two-phased closed bottle 

test) .
