Description of key information

The ready biodegradation of the test item was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 F and EU Method C.4 -D over a period of 28 days and using activated sludge as inoculum collected from a sewage treatment which is mainly fed with municipal wastewater. The test item proved to be readily biodegradable and fulfilling the 10-d-window criterion (>85% biodegradation after 28 d of incubation). The functional control reached the pass level > 60% after 14 d. In the toxicity control containing both test and reference item 61 and 65% biodegradation based on oxygen consumption occurred within 14 d thus indicating that the test item was not inhibitory to the activated sludge microorganisms at the concentration tested.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
