- Test performance:
- - A suspension of 100 mg/L test item in a mineral medium was inoculated and incubated under aerobic conditions in the dark.
- The endogenous activity of the inoculum was checked running parallel blanks with inoculum but without test item.
- A reference substance was run in parallel to check the operation of the procedures.

- Conclusions:
- All validity criteria were met:
- reference compound reached the level for ready biodegradability within 14 days
- no toxicity of the test item was observed in the toxicity control.
- at the end (or plateau, or the end of the 10-days-window) of the test, biodegradation (%) in parallels with test item did not differ by more than 20 percentage points
- oxygen uptake of the inoculum blank was ≤ 60 mg/L - Executive summary:
A ready biodegradation test was carried out on HDI according to EU Method C.4 which is similar to OECD Guideline 301F. Experimental units consisted of 250 –Ml test bottles.
Activated sludge from domestic sewage treatment plant was used as biological inoculum. The following treatments were applied: control (inoculum), test material (inoculum + test substance), reference material (inoculum + benzoic acid, sodium salt), and toxicity control.
The initial test concentration was 100 mg/L. All test solutions were incubated for 28 days at 20°C ± 1°C. The O2-consumption was measured during this period. The concentrations of test substance did not induce toxicity effects on bacteria. The percentage of biodegradation of test substance attained 0% on Day 4, 20 % on Day 14 % and 42 % on Day 28 based on O2-consumption.
This ready biodegradation study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement. Under the conditions of this study, HDI is considered as not readily biodegradable in accordance with the classification system of the EU (Directive 67/548/EC).
Results Synopsis:
Ready biodegradation
A mixed population of microorganisms in activated sludge coming from STEP effluents (domestic, adaptation not specified)
Aerobic % of biodegradation after 28 days: 42 % (based on O2-consumption)
Reference
Description of key information
Hexamethylenediisocyanate is not readily biodegradable. After 28 days 42 % of the test substance had been degraded in a manometric respiratory test according Directive 92/69/EEC, C.4-D. (Bayer AG, 2000a).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The test was carried out with industrial, activated sludge,origin from an industrial sewage treatment plant treating industrial sewage (Bayer AG, Leverkusen Germany). This test may not be used for classification or PBT assessment as this situation does not reflect normal environmental conditions. Therefore the test result can onlybe used for assessment of HDI in industrial STPs.
