Conclusions:
The average particle size distribution results, correct to three significant figures, are D(10) = 1.10 µm, D(50) = 5.39 µm and D(90) = 22.4 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of test substance was determined three times in accordance with the CIPAC method 187, particle size analysis by laser diffraction in compliance with GLP. The average particle size distribution results, correct to three significant figures, are D(10) = 1.10 µm, D(50) = 5.39 µm and D(90) = 22.4 µm.
