Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
the substance was found to be readily biodegradable under this test
Executive summary:

2 different concentration test solutions were tested for ready biodegradability over 28 days in accprdanec with OECD test 301 B. The 10.3mg test solution was found to be 74% biodegraded and the 20.0mg/l test solution was 23% biodegraded, under the test conditions described
