Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
Conclusions:
The substance was found to be inherently biodegradable. However, the documentation is insufficient for further assessment. No information given on negative and positive controls. Adsoprtion to activated sludge particles was considered based on an adsoprtion rate of ca. 17% after 3 hours.
