Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The sample did not reach the 60% degradation treshold within 28 days and therefore has to be considered as "not readily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
Executive summary:

The sample did not reach the 60% degradation treshold within 28 days and therefore has to be considered as "not readily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
