Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the particle size distribution of the test item. The study was performed according to the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 and under consideration of the following guidelines: CIPAC MT 187: Particle Size Analysis by Laser Diffraction, ISO13320:2009: Particle Size Analysis - Laser Diffraction Methods, OECD Test Guideline 110: Particle Size Distribution and Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, version 6.0, July 2017, European Chemicals Agency.

The median particle size L50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 4.00 µm. The particle size L10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 0.75 µm. The particle size L90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 12.35 µm.
