Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In the toxicity to microorganism study with a nominal loading of up to 1000 mg/L of the test item, no effects were observed.
Executive summary:

In the toxicity test to microorganism, the effects of the test item with a nominal loading of 100, 180, 320, 580 and1000 mg/L, were determined according to OECD 209 guideline.

A non-adapted sludge from domestic STP was used and no analytical monitoring of the test item was carried out.

The effect levels based on the nominal loading of test item are LC50>1000mg/l, NOEC=1000mg/l.

The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.
