Description of key information

Degradation of 41 % was determined for test substance within the test period of 28 d. Hence, test substance is classified as 'Not Readily Biodegradable'

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of test substance according to EU Method C.4-D. and OECD Guideline 301 F.

The test substance in a mineral medium was inoculated with secondary effluent and incubated for 28 d under aerobic conditions. During this period the biodegradation of the test substance was determined on the basis of reduction in DOC.

The test substance showed 41 % degradation after 28 d. Therefore, the test substance is classified as not readily biodegradable. The reference substance showed 89 % degradation after 14 d.

The test substance is classified as not readily biodegradable (Dr. Caspers, 2002).
