Any other information on results incl. tables

Biodegradation of reference item was 83 % day 14, thus confirming the suitability of activated sludge. At the end of the test on day 28, degradation was 82 %.

Test item has no inhibitory effects on activated sludge microorganisms, as biodegradation rate in toxicity control was > 25 % within 14 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Test item was found to be not biodegradable under test conditions within 28 days.
