Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 110 (Particle Size Distribution / Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions)
Version / remarks:
Screening Test
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The method used is based on a procedure designed to comply with that given in 'Particle size distribution, fibre length and diameter distribution', June 1996 European Commission technical guidance document, which satifies the requirements of OECD Guideline 110.
Test item was sieved for approximately 30 minutes on an Inclyno sieve shaker using a sieve with an aperture size of 100µm. The mass of the test item passing through the sieve was measured.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
determination of fibre length and diameter distributions
Percentile:
D50
Remarks on result:
other: Migrated from fields under 'Mass median diameter' as D50 percentile. No source field for Standard deviation.
No.:
#1
Size:
< 100 µm
Distribution:
97.9 %

The results of the sieving procedure are shown below:

 Measurement

Result 

Mass of test item transferred to sieve 

10.01g

 Mass of test item passed through sieve

9.89g

Proportion of test item <100µm 

97.9
Conclusions:
In an OECD Granulometry screening test the proportion of Iridum < 100 μm was 97.9%.
Executive summary:

The result is from a GLP compliant study, following OECD guideline 110 (Harlan 2011) and is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. The proportion of iridum < 100 μm was 97.9 %.

Description of key information
