Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
More than 99% of the test substance has a particle size in the range between 0.16 and 2.00 mm, with a 10%-quantile approximately at 0.3mm, a median at 0.76mm and a 90%-quantile at 1.05mm.
Executive summary:

Using an for the test substance adjusted sieving procedure employing sieves with the pore sizes

0.08; 0.2; 0.315; 0.5; 0.8; 1.0 and 2.0 mm. Weighing of the sieved fraction resulted in the follwing distribution quantiles:

- 10%-quantile approximately at 0.3mm,

- median at 0.76mm,

- 90%-quantile at 1.05mm,

while 99% of the test substance has a particle size in the range between 0.16 and 2.00 mm
