The reported results were prepared from combined data for both magnifications from each field, at least fifty fields being taken from each slide. The mean projected area data were used to calculate spherical particle volumes in each range, which, when combined with the particle number distribution, gives a volume or mass distribution. The results are summarised in Table 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results of indicated that approximately 0.6 % w/w of 3,3-(4,4-biphenylenedioxy)dianiline was smaller than 10 micrometre.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of 3,3-(4,4-biphenylenedioxy)dianiline was examined using sieve analysis according to OECD Guideline No. 110. As greater than 10 % by weight of the substance were found to pass a 75 -micron sieve, it was further examined by image analysis based on BS3406, Part 4, 1993.

The reported results were prepared from combined data for both magifications from each field, at least fifty fields being taken from each slide. The mean projected area data were used to calculate spherical particle volumes in each range, which, when combined with the particle number distribution, gives a volume or mass distribution. The observed particles were irregular and crystalline.

The results indicate that approximately 0.6 % w/w of 3,3-(4,4-biphenylenedioxy)dianiline was smaller than 10 micrometre.
