- Executive summary:
GUIDELINE
The investigation was performed in accordance with Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (1995) Guideline 115 "Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions" and Council of the European Communities Directive 92/69/EEC(1992) Method A.5 "Surface Tension".
METHODS
The surface tension was determined using a surface tensiometer. The surface tension was obtained at a constant temperature of 20.0±0.5 °C, measured using a certified thermometer. The temperature was recorded immediately prior to analysis. This method utilised the principles of operation originally devised by Dr. Pierre du Nouy and employed a platinum-iridium ring of precisely known dimensions suspended from a counter-balanced lever arm. The arm was held horizontal by torsion applied to a taut stainless steel wire to which it was clamped. Increased torsion in the wire raised the arm and the ring. The ring carried with it the liquid in which it was immersed. Surface tension was measured as the force necessary to pull the test ring free from the surface film.
RESULTS
The surface tension of the test substance was determined using a surface tensiometer. The corrected mean measured surface tension was 55.0 ± 0.8 (n = 6, CV = 1.52 %) at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C and was measured at a concentration of 23.6 mg/L as test material.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
- The surface tension of the test substance was determined at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C using a surface tensiometer.
- Prior to analysis, a water calibration correction factor was determined and applied to the initial instrument reading.
- The surface tension determination was performed in triplicate on two separate aliquots of the test substance.
- The corrected mean measured surface tension of the test substance was 55.0 ± 0.8 (n = 6, CV = 1.52 %) at 20 ± 0.5 °C.
- The results of the surface tension analysis are presented in Table 7 (attached).
