Adequacy of study:
other information
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Remarks:
This study deals with dust explosivity, and not with explosive properties of the substance itself. It was not carried out according to GLP.
