The biodegradation within the 10-day-window was 71 % and 63 %, respectively. The 10-day window started at day three (20 mg/L) and four (100 mg/L), respectively. No clear lag phase / adaptation phase was noticeable since degradation in the procedural control also started on day four. The biodegradation of the item mixture in the toxicity control was found to be 76 % for a concentration of 20 mg test item/L and 64 % for a concentration of 100 mg test item/L after 14 days of incubation.

- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradation of the test substance has been assessed in a manometric respirometry test OECD 301F. It is compliant with Good Laboratory Practices. Two test groups of 20 mg/L and 100 mg/L have been inoculated with activated sludge from a primary domestic sewage treatment plant. Sodium benzoate was used as reference substance at 100 mg/L and a toxicity control was set up as an inoculum blank group. O2 consumption by bacteria was measured continuously while evolving CO2 was adsorbed to maintain a constant inner pressure in the vessels.
Biodegradation started on day 3 or 4 with a very short lag phase. Test group 100 mg/L and 20 mg/L showed 63.2 ± 3.5% and 71.4 ± 5.8% of biodegradation respectively at the end of the 10-day window (on day 14). After 28 days, test group 100 mg/L and 20 mg/L showed respectively 79.9 ± 2.8% and 81.3 ± 7.0% of biodegradation. The standard deviation in replicates in each test group was lower than 20% and pH at the end of the test remained in the 6-8.5 range. The reference substance showed ready biodegradation after 14 days and no toxicity to bacteria occurred in the toxicity control group. The test is valid and the results are considered as reliable.
Finally in an OECD 301F test, the test substance showed readily biodegradation meeting the 10-day window requirements.
In addition, the biodegradation of the item mixture in the toxicity control was found to be 76 % for a concentration of 20 mg test item/L and 64 % for a concentration of 100 mg test item/L after 14 days of incubation. Thus, the demanded threshold value of 25 % is exceeded and the test item can be identified as non-toxic in a ready biodegradability test.

Additional information
One valid key study is available (Fraunhofer, 2009), to assess the readily biodegradation of the registered substance.
This study was performed on the registered substance according to OECD Guideline 301F with GLP certificate. Briefly, two test groups at 20 mg/L and 100 mg/L was inoculated with activated sludge from a primary domestic sewage treatment plant. Sodium benzoate was used as reference substance. The test was valid. Biodegradation started on days 3 and 4 with a very short lag phase. The 10-day window ended on day 14 showing more than 60% in each test group. After 28 days test groups showed 79.9 ± 2.8% and 81.3 ± 7.0% of biodegradation, for 100 and 20 mg/L of test substance respectively. The substance is considered readily biodegradable, within the 10-day window. In addition, the biodegradation of the item mixture in the toxicity control was found to be 64 % for a concentration of 100 mg/L and 76 % for a concentration of 20 mg/L after 14 days of incubation. Thus, the demanded threshold value of 25 % is exceeded and the test substance can be identified as non-toxic for microorganisms up to 100 mg/L.
