We report the results of Eu Mssbauer spectroscopy on EuPtSi with a chiral structure belonging to the P23 space group at zero magnetic field. The paramagnetic single absorption forms a magnetic splitting profile directly below 4.0 K and the spectrum at 3.9 K consists of the sum of the paramagnetic single absorption and the magnetic splitting absorption, which indicates a first-order transition at 4.0 K. The temperature dependence of the effective hyperfine fields at the Eu nucleus follows a power law indicates a full moment of Eu ions.
