Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
- The particles have a median aspect ratio of 3,5:1.
- The shape is rod. The material is assigned to the “elongated” shape category.
- The median (D50) of the particle size is 23,9 nm. The test substance is therefore classified as “nano” according to the definition of nanomaterial 2011/696/EU.
