Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
The substance is considered as not readily biodegradable.
Executive summary:

The biodegradability of the test material, and a positive control material (aniline) was studied in an aerobic, aqueous test system. This procedure was based on that outlined in the OECD Test Guideline 301F. 


The substance biodegraded to 0% after 28 days. Therefore the material is not readily biodegradable.
