- Executive summary:
Materials and methods
A Modified MITI Test (I) was conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 C over a period of 28 days.
Results and discussion
No biodegradation of test substance was observed during a 28 d incubation period. The test item is therefore considered to be not ready biodegradable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
