Materials and methods

Test guidelineopen allclose all
Qualifier:

Guideline:
ISO 13320 (Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods)
Version / remarks:

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: CIPAC MT 187 (Particle size analysis by laser diffraction)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
According to REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Article 13(3) tests on substances shall be conducted in accordance with the test methods laid down in a Commission Regulation or in accordance with other international test methods recognised by the Commission or the Agency as being appropriate. No particle size distribution test method is laid down in the relevant Regulation (EC) No 440/2008. The international OECD 110 test guideline ‘Particle Size Distribution/FibreLength and Diameter Distributions’ dates from 1981 and describes two methods in detail; both methods have restrictions and are not applicable to the entire size range. ECHA’s document ‘Guidance on information requirements and Chemical SafetyAssessment-Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance’ stipulates that many methods are available for particle size measurements but none of them is applicable to the entire size range. ECHA’s guidance mentions the Laser scattering/diffraction as a method suitable for particles of all kind and makes reference to ISO 13320:2009.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Particle size distribution of the substance Carbaethoxyphthalimid: D10= 117 µm, D50= 305 µm and D90=583 µm. 0.42% by volume is smaller than 10 µm. MMAD= 367 µm.
Executive summary:

The substance Carbaethoxyphthalimid was visually observed to be a white solid powder. Under a microscope, the substance was observed to be made up of single crystalline particles. The particle size distribution was determined using laser diffraction analysis (dry powder module) in a GLP study according to ISO 13320 and CIPAC MT 187. Each result is the average of five runs. Particle size distribution of the substance Carbaethoxyphthalimid: D10= 117 µm, D50= 305 µm and D90=583 µm. 0.42% by volume is smaller than 10 µm. MMAD= 367 µm.
