Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
All validity criteria were met.
Degradation behaviour of positive control and toxicity control was normal. Abiotic degradation was not observed. Both replicates of the test item showed good correspondence.
If degradation in the toxicity flask is below 25 % after 14 days, the test item can be consid-ered as toxic towards the inoculum. As degradation in the toxicity flask was 80.9 % after 14 days, the test item can be stated as “not toxic towards the inoculum in a concentration of 24.8 mg/L”.
Ready biodegradability is defined in the guidelines as degradation surpassing 60% within 10 days after reaching a level of 10 %. The 10-day-window began on day 4, at its end, 79 % (graphic evaluation), degradation was reached, surpassing the pass level of 60 % given in the OECD guideline. Therefore, the test item [3R-(3α, 3aβ,6α,7β,8aα)]-octahydro-3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-1H-3a,7-methanoazulen-6-ol (Cedrol) can be considered as “readily biodegradable”.
No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome.
The result of the test can be considered valid.
