Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
No biodegradation has been observed under the test conditions (0% degradation after 20 days). The reliability of the test cannot be assessed as the documentation is insufficient (reliability 4 assigned).
Executive summary:

A test in closed bottles was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of the test item (duration 20 days). No biodegradation has been observed under the test conditions (0% degradation after 20 days). As the documentation is insufficient to assess the reliability of the test, QSAR estimation has been done in addition, which confirmed the result "not readily biodegradable".
