Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
other:
Conclusions:
The test substance was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test. Based on the rate of biodegradation of 50-60% CO2/ThCO2 at the end of the test the test substance can be evaluated as moderately or partly biodegradable in this test.
