Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
no
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Tridecyl Trimellilate cannot be considered readily biodegradable because biodegradation did not surpass the 60% mark within a 10-d window during the 28-d exposure period.
