Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The study was performed in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail and therefore reliability of Klimisch 1 has been assigned. Result: D50 = 20.2 µm
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item 3,3-bis(4-hydroxy-5-isopropyl-o-tolyl)phthalide was determined by laser light scattering, according to OECD Guideline 110 (and ISO 13320 and OPPTS 830.7520). The test material has a median particle size of D50 = 20.2 µm.
