Conclusions:
The average particle size results are Dv(10) 10.2 µm, Dv(50) 42.3 µm and Dv(90) 95.9 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test substance was determined using laser diffraction in accordance with CIPAC method 187 (Fraunhofer diffraction method) using the dry-dispersion unit and GLP principles. The average results are Dv(10) 10.2 µm, Dv(50) 42.3 µm and Dv(90) 95.9 µm.
