Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
In conclusion the test item was not readiliy biodegradable under the conditions of the CO2 evolution test (modified storm test) .
The pass value of 60% of ThCO2 was not reached in a 10-d window within the 28-d period of the test. In addition the test substance did not reach the degree of 10 % ThCO2 comprising the starting point of the 10 days window. The test substance is deemed to be not readily biodegradable.
