Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
• The test item 9-oxo-9H-thioxanthene-4-carboxylic acid is considered as “not readily biodegradable“.
• No biodegradation was observed after 28 days.
• The 10-day-window was not detected.
• Degradation missed 60 % within 28 days, too. Therefore, the test item is considered as “not ultimately biodegradable within 28 days”, as well.
• Abiotic degradation was not observed.
