Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Baes on the test result the substance has to considered as not readily biodegradable
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for ready biodegradation according to 79/831/EWG (part C), that is equivalent or similar to OECD guideline 301 C. In this manometric respiration test no biodegradation as found during 28 days.
