Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
According to OECD 301B test method, CR SB07 was not be considered readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the SuperLab Study Plan for M62-170700010001EN which is based on the SOP for the OECD 301B (SOPE-503) and OECD 301B (OECD, 1992). The results of this OECD 301B test for CR SB07 show that all validity criteria were met. CR SB07 can not be considered readily biodegradable under the test conditions and the percentage biodegradation of CR SB07 was less than 60 %.

Description of key information

Not readily biodegradable (OECD TG 301B).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

The total amount of evolved CO2 in the blank control group was 35.48 mg/1.2 L. The difference between replicates of test group was less than 20%. At Day 14 during the study, the biodegradation of the reference control article was72.68 % and the percent biodegradation in the toxicity control was 46.79 %. All test validity criteria were met. CR SB07 can not be considered readily biodegradable under the test conditions and the percentage biodegradation of CR SB07 was less than 60 %.
