Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The average percentage biodegradation of the test item by BOD was 75% after 28 days. In addition, the percentage biodegradation of the test item by BOD at the end of the 10-day window exceeded 60% (73% and 77%). These results met the pass level of readily biodegradability in OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals. Therefore, it showed that the test item is a readily biodegradable substance.
