Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Non GLP study. It was assessed that Laser scattering/diffraction method is suitable to determine the distribution of particles. No information about calibration of the instrument has been reported. Test item particle size result is in the applicability range of the method (0.1-100 microns).
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 110 (Particle Size Distribution / Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions - Method A: Particle Size Distribution (effective hydrodynamic radius)
Version / remarks:
The determination of the particle size distribution was determined by laser light.
The method used is analogous and therefore considered to be equivalent to USP <429>, Ph.Eur. 2.9.31. and to that described in section 5.2. of the OECD 110 Guideline concerning Determination of Particle Size Distribution.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Type of particle tested:
primary particle
Type of distribution:
volumetric distribution
