Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Executive summary:

A test according to the EU Method C.4-E (Determination of the "Ready" Biodegradability - Closed Bottle Test) was conducted to investigate the ready biodegradability of cyclohexylamine. Within 20 d, 92 % of the test item were degraded (Bayer AG, 1976).
