Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (CO2 evolution)
Value:
80
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
Phenyl acid phosphate was readily biodegradable under the
conditions of this test over the 28-day exposure to activated
sludge according to OECD guideline 301B.
The required pass level for ready biodegradability i.e., at least
60% of the theoretical CO2 production in a 10-day window
exceeding 10% degradation within the 28-day period of the test
was reached.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
