Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
Kresidinsulfmethylamid is not inherently biodegradable under the conditions of the Zahn-Wellens Test
Executive summary:

Testing of Kresidinsulfmethylamid for inherent biodegradability was performed in the Zahn-Wellens test. The results of testing the biodegradability in the Zahn-Wellens Test revealed that Kresidinsulfmethylamid was not inherently biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
