At the cold-neutron beam line of the Institut Laue Langevin, the EXILL&FATIMA array, consisting of EXOGAM Ge detectors and fast LaBr3(Ce) scintillators, was used to perform fast electronic timing measurements after the 195Pt(n,gamma) reaction using a highly collimated cold-neutron beam. An upper lifetime limit was obtained for the third 0+ state in 196Pt. As this state is the lowest state of the sigma=N-2 set of SO(6) states, the selection rule which forbids E2 transitions to the lower lying sigma=N states could be tested.
