Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
According to OECD guideline the test item should be classified as readily biodegradable if the percentage biodegradation reaches 60% of theoretical oxygen demand within 28 day period in a 10-day window. According to the test results the biodegradability of test item reaches the 60% of theoretical oxygen demand during the test but outside the 10-day window so the Levodione is not readily biodegradable.
