Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The test substance did not show any biodegradation under the test conditions.
Executive summary:

The inherent biodegradability of FAT 20063/C was determined in a modified Zahn-Wellens Test according to OECD Guideline 302B, in compliance with GLP. The test substance FAT 20063/C and the reference substance Diethylenglycol, respectively, were tested in concentrations of 150 mg/l DOC. The adsorption of the test substance after 3 hours was estimated to be 1 %. The biodegradation of the test substance FAT 20063/C after 28 days was 0 %. Hence, the total elimination of the test substance over the whole test period of 28 days was 1 %. The biodegradation of the reference substance after 7 days was estimated to be 98 %. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the test substance did not show any biodegradation under the test conditions.
