Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
Toscanol undergoes 55% biodegradation after 28 days (73% biodegradation after 57 days) in the test conditions.
Thus, Toscanol should be regarded as inherently biodegradable according this test method.
