Coefficient of variation for d50 was less than 3 %; d10 and d90 were less than 5 %. Thus repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution were within the acceptable limits as per the BS ISO 13320 -1 test standard.

Conclusions:
In particle size distribution analysis 41.27 % by volume of the sample was seen to be < 10.00 μm. Coefficient of variation for d50 was less than 3 %; d10 and d90 were less than 5 %. Thus repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution were within the acceptable limits as per the BS ISO 13320 -1 test standard.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was assessed in a guideline study (OECD 111, ISO 13320, CIPAC MT 187) according to GLP by laser diffraction method. The test item has a d50 of 12.729 µm, a d90 of 46.122 µm and a d10 of 2.788 µm.
