Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The test substance was observed to be not ready biodegradable in the present test.
Executive summary:

The test substance was observed to be not ready biodegradable in the "Closed Bottle Test" conducted by Hüls AG (1997) according to EU method C.4 -E. 0% degradation was observed with in a period of 28 days. The study was assessed as "reliable without restrictions".
