Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The ready biodegradabilityh of the test item was determined in a study according to OECD 301F (Manometric Respirometry Test). The biodegradation was determined to be <1% after 28 d. Biodegradation of the reference substance and the results of the controls were within the validity criteria. Therefore, the test item has to be considered as not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
