Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test item BIBR 1048 Estere has showed to be not ready biodegradable under the conditions applied in a Manometric Respirometry test, having not reached the pass level (60% biodegradation), but showing a maximum value of degradation of 18.8% by the end of the 10-days window and 22.7% during the test period (mean values between two replicates).
Moreover, the test item showed no inhibitory effects on the microorganism activity at the tested concentration, as demonstrated by the 25% of biodegradation exceeded in the toxicity control, already at the third day of test period.
