Particle size distribution (Granulometry)

Administrative data

Endpoint:

particle size distribution (granulometry)

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is marketed or used in a non solid or granular form

Cross-reference

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Reference

Endpoint:

appearance / physical state / colour

Type of information:

other: visual observation
