Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable, but failing 10-day window
Executive summary:

Dihydro Ionone Beta undergoes 70% biodegradation after 31 days (69% after 28 days) in the test conditions.

Biodegradation starts on day 6 and reaches 58% at the end of the 10 -day window (days 6 to 16). This is just below the pass level for the "ready" biodegradability qualification (60%).
