- Pre-treatment: none
- Amount of inoculum: 0.5 mL sewage/L - Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- ca. 19 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:

SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: every 2-7 days for at least 28 days
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: yes
- Abiotic sterile control: yes
- Toxicity control: yes
- Inhibition of the inoculum: yes - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Parameter:
- % degradation (DOC removal)
- Value:
- < 15
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- < 15% after 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 d
- Results with reference substance:
- ca. 10% after 1 day
> 95% after 3 and 7 days - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- other: poorly biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test substance was degraded <15% (DOC removal) by 28 days.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradability of the test substance was tested in accordance with ISO 7827. The test substance was degraded <15% via DOC removal at 28 days.
