Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The explosion severity (maximum pressure and speed of the explosion) of a dust cloud of the test substance under specified test conditions was determined in a GLP-compliant study in accordance with BS EN 14034. As the 20 L Sphere test gave a Pmax of 8.2 bar and a Kst value of 266 bar*m*s-1, the substance falls within the dust explosion class 2 (medium explosion severity potential).
