Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Based on the test results Acetkresidin 34 TTRS is not readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

Acetkresidin 34 TTRS was tested for ready biodegradation according to OECD 301F (Manomeric Respirometry Test).After 28 days 12 % degradation could be observed. Therefore, the test item is not readily biodegradable
