STATISTICAL METHODS:
Theoretical Oxygen Demand (ThOD):
The Theoretical Oxygen Demand (ThOD) was calculated on the basis of the sum formula of the test and reference item considering complete nitrification.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD):
The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) was calculated on the basis of the test raw data by BOD [mg/mg] = mg O2 uptake corrected by blank per mg test item.
The percent degradation was calculated according to the following formula:
D t = [(C t –C b ) / ThOD] x 100
D t : degradation (%) at time t;
C t : mean oxygen consumption (mg/L) in the test suspension at time t;
C b : mean oxygen consumption (mg/L) in the blanks at time t;
ThOD: Theoretical oxygen demand of the test suspension (mg/L). - Reference substance:

- Conclusions:
- The test item hydrogenated tallow/nortallow based IQAC, aqueous dispersion (5 %) must be considered as not readily biodegradable under the chosen test conditions.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradation of hydrogenated tallow/nortallow based IQAC, aqueous dispersion (5% ) was investigated over a 28-day period in a Closed Bottle Test according to OECD guideline 301 D (1992). The test medium was inoculated with activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant mainly fed with municipal wastewater. The rate of degradation was monitored by measuring the oxygen consumption over the 28-d period.
The test item was tested with a concentration of 20 and 40 mg/L in duplicates, corresponding to a carbon content (ThOC) of 2.83 and 5.66 mg C/L in the test vessels.
Degradation is followed by analysis of dissolved oxygen over a 28-day period. The amount of oxygen taken up by the microbial population during biodegradation of the test item (corrected for uptake by blank inoculum, run in parallel) is expressed as a percentage of ThOD.
The 10 % level (beginning of biodegradation of the test item) was reached within an adaptation phase of 3 days for the procedural control. The percentage of degradation of the functional control reached the pass level of 60 % after 3 days.
The highest mean biodegradation rate of hydrogenated tallow/nortallow based IQAC aqueous dispersion (5 %) within the 28 days of incubation in the static test was found to be 6 % (day 6) in the assays with 20 mg/L and 3 % (day 21) in the assays with 40 mg/L. Thus, no biodegradation within a 10-day-window could be obtained. The biodegradation of the item mixture in the toxicity control was found to be 28 % after 14 days of incubation. Thus, the demanded threshold value of 25 % is exceeded and the test item IS-2017-761 aqueous dispersion (5 %) can be identified as non-toxic in a ready biodegradability test. The reference item sodium benzoate was degraded to 97 % within the first 14 days, which was the highest degradation rate found within the test duration. In conclusion, according to the guideline, the test item hydrogenated tallow/nortallow based IQAC aqueous dispersion (5 %) must be identified as not readily biodegradable under the chosen test conditions.
