Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
The inherent biodegradability of the test item was determined in three inocula of different wastewater treatment plants. Based on the DOC removal after 28 d, the mean biodegradation rate was calculated at 7%. The substance is therefore not considered inherently biodegradable in the OECD 302B test.
