Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The average percentage of particles with a diametre of < 0,063 mm in the test substance ( smallest commercial standard 0/40) is 1,3 (m/m) % with a standard deviation of 1,2 according to method EN 933-1
Executive summary:

The average percentage of particles with a diametre of < 0,063 mm in the test substance is 1,3 (m/m) % with a standard deviation of 1,2 according to method EN 933-1
