Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Absorption (corrected for blank): 0%
% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (DOC removal)
Value:
0
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
results are average of 2 tests running in parallel

BOD5 / COD results

Results with reference substance:
The biodegradation, corrected by the blank control and measured as DOC (mg/l) is: 98 % on 8th day (average of 2 tests running in parallel).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
The substance is not inherently biodegradable
Executive summary:

In a Zahn-Wellens test the substance did not show any biodegradation over a 28 day period. Therefore it is concluded that the substance is not inherently biodegradable.
