Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to column 2 from Annex VII from the REACH regulation and Guidance Chapter R7b, a study on ready biodegradability does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic. Degradation/biodegradation testing is not relevant for metals and metal compounds like disodium titanate, which are considered as not (bio)degradable.
