Details on results:
The experience is valid because:
The difference between the biodegradation values ​​of the replicates is less than 20%.
The oxygen consumption in the control series is less than 60 mg / l at the end of the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test item reaches the 60% threshold of biodegradation in 10 days with biodegradation between 80% and 90% after 28 days and is therefore "easily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
Executive summary:

The objective of this work is the determination of the biodegradation of LIPOLAMI milk thistle ER according OECD 301F method.

The test item reaches the 60% threshold of biodegradation in 10 days with biodegradation between 80% and 90% after 28 days and is therefore "easily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
