- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline

- OECD Guideline 301 F (Ready Biodegradability: Manometric Respirometry Test)
- Deviations:
- no
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Batch No.: 0900243308
- Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:
- activated sludge, domestic (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- Aerobic activated sludge (microorganisms from a domestic wastewater treatment plant) was supplied by the sewage treatment plant of Rossdorf, Germany.
- Duration of test (contact time):
- 28 d
- Initial conc.:
- 104.2 mg/L
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Initial conc.:
- 180.2 mg/L
- Based on:
- ThOD
- Remarks:
- ThODNH4
- Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:
- O2 consumption
- Details on study design:
- The test item Resorcinol diacetate was investigated for its ready biodegradability in a manometric respirometry test over a period of 28 days. The biodegradation was followed by the oxygen uptake of the microorganisms during exposure. As a reference item sodium benzoate was tested simultaneously under the same conditions as the test item, and functioned as a procedure control.

Description of key information
The mean biodegradation of 10% of Resorcinol diacetate was reached at day 1 (ThODNH4). At the end of the 10-day window at day 11, the degradation of Resorcinol diacetate was 72% (ThODNH4), the 10 day window criterion was therefore passed. The mean biodegradation at test end after 28 days was 81% (ThODNH4).
Therefore, Resorcinol diacetate is considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
