Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test item was determined to be not readily biodegradable in the 10-day window and after 28 days.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for ready biodegradability according to OECD 301B. The study report provides details of the procedures and analytical methods. The results are well documented and the test is valid.

The 10% level (beginning of biodegradation) was reached only in one replicate after a long lasting adaptation phase of 19 days. In this replicate the biodegradation came to a maximum of 21% after 28 days. In the 2nd replicate the biodegradation remained at a level of 0%. 

The test item must be regarded to be not readily biodegradable in the 10-day window and after 28 days.
