Executive summary:

A package of physicochemical testing, including a particle size distribution determination, was performed by Chemicals Evaluation and Research Institue, Kurume, Japan, to determine certain physicochemical properties of the test substance. The particle size distribution determination was performed using the laser diffraction method in accordance with ISO 13320:2009, and in accordance with GLP. The results indicated that median particle size of test item (x50) is 163 µm.
