Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The particle size distribution D10, D50, and D90 of the fraction <2000 µm was determined to be in the ranges between 183.971 and 246.953, 633.940 and 654.493, and 1150.789 and 1167.923 µm, respectively.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 110 (Particle Size Distribution / Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions) - Method B: Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions. The test substance was sieved, the fraction <2000 µm separated (corresponding to 7.9% of the total amount) and subject of laser scattering/diffraction. The D10, D50, and D90 were determined to be in the ranges between 183.971 and 246.953, 633.940 and 654.493, and 1150.789 and 1167.923 µm, respectively.
