Conclusions:
The average particle size for the test item is 17.24 µm; the mass median diameter is 7.45 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution for the test substance was determined according to OECD 100 / CIPAC MT 187 - Particle size analysis by laser diffraction (ISO 13320 -1) under GLP conditions. The average particle size for the test item is 17.24 µm; the mass median diameter is 7.45 µm.
