Conclusions:
The average particle size for the test item is 4.50 µm (D10), 15.85 µm (D50), 34.932 µm (D90) and the mass moment mean (D4,3) is 17.98 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size for the tested substance was determined using a Coulter LS 13 320. The method used was in accordance with OECD guideline 110, CIPAC MT 187 and ISO 13320 -1, following GLP. The volumetric particle size distribution using the laser scattering method was recorded. The average particle size for the test item is 4.50 µm (D10), 15.85 µm (D50), 34.93 µm (D90) and the mass moment mean (D4,3) is 17.98 µm.
