Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test substance was tested in concentration of 25 mg/I DOC. The bioelimination of the test substance after 28 days is: 21.6 % and the test item is therefore considered to be inherently biodegradable.
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested in concentration of 25 mg/I DOC. The bioelimination of the test substance after 28 days is: 21.6 % and the test item is therefore considered to be inherently biodegradable.
