Any other information on results incl. tables

The substance showed a BOD value of 4.8 mg oxygen/100 mg and 85.2 mg oxygen/100 mg for the BOD and COD, respectively. Based on these findings a BOD/COD-ratio of 0.42 was determined.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The BOD/COD-test was conducted with the analogue substance. Based on its BOD/COD-ratio of 0.05, the analogue substance is considered to be biologically degradable by about 5 %. Accordingly the analogue substance has to be regarded as "not readily biodegradable". Due to the structural similarity this has also to be concluded for the substance subject of registration.
