yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:

The test item must be regarded as not readily biodegradable after 28 days.
Executive summary:

 

The ready biodegradability was determined with a non adapted activated sludge for the test item over a test period of 28 days in the CO2 Evolution test. The study was conducted according to OECD 301B. The test item was tested with a concentration of 15 mg/L in duplicates, corresponding to a carbon content (TOC) of 11.9 mgC/L in the test vessels.

To check the activity of the test system sodium benzoate was used as functional control.

 

The10% level (beginning of biodegradation) was reached after 11 days. The pass level of 60 % was not reached. The biodegradation of the test item came to a maximum of 37 % after 28 days. %.

 

The validity criteria according to the guideline are fulfilled.

 

The test item must be regarded as not readily biodegradable after 28 days.
