Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 301 D (Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test)
GLP compliance:
yes
Remarks:
Except chemical analysis (carried our as accredited analysis but not in compliance with GLP principles)
Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:

 21 9.0 76.9  34.6
 28 7.9  71.2  31.9
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Biodegradation in water screening test shows that test item is not readily biodegradable under the test conditions within the 28-day exposure period.
Executive summary:

The ready biodegradability of the test item was examined according to OECD Guideline 301D, under GLP compliance. BOD of 9.0 ±1.4 % of the ThOD was reached within 28 days (after 21 days). After 28 days the BOD was measured to be 7.9 ± 0.2 % of the ThOD. These results give a conclusion that test item is not readily biodegradable.
