Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
54.5 weight-% of the tested sample have a particle size between 1000 and 2000 micrometer.
Executive summary:

As the test substance appears as flakes at ambient conditions, the particle size was determined by shaking screens according to ISO 4610. 54.5 weight-% of the tested sample have a particle size between 1000 and 2000 micrometer.
