Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Executive summary:

Cyclododecenone undergoes 81% biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions. The 10-day window criterion is also fulfilled (24% biodegradation on day 6 and 70% on day 16).

Cyclododecenone did not inhibit the intrinsic respiration of the inoculum at the test concenctraion and was therefore condiered to be non-toxic to the inoculum at the test concentration.

Thus, Cyclododenone should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.
