TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 2000 mL-SCHOTT-flasks were used as test vessels, 100 mL scrubber flasks as absorbent vessels
- Number of culture flasks/concentration: 2 test flasks, containing test item, mineral medium and inoculum
- Method used to create aerobic conditions:
The medium was prepared from the stock solutions. The inoculum was taken from its source, washed, aerated and the dry matter was determined.
The test vessels were filled with medium and inoculum. Then all flasks were aerated for 24 hours with purified, C02-free, moistened air to purge the system of C02.
The test vessels were aerated with purified (by activated charcoal), C02-scrubbed, moistened air. The scrubbing of carbon dioxide was achieved by bubbling the purified air through a flask containing 1.5 m-NaOH. To control the absence of C02, the air was then led through a flask containing a solution of Ba(OH)2 before reaching the test vessels.
- Measuring equipment: data logger for temperature, analytical scales Mettler Toledo 184 SA, precision scales Sartorius 1403, adjustable pipettes with one-way tips Rainin® (for volumes 1 mL, 1-10 mL); Carbon analyser TOC multi N/C 2100S, Analytik Jena, pH-meter 340i wtw.
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: The emitted C02 was trapped in 0.25-m-NaOH. Two scrubbers containing 100 mL each were connected in series to the test vessels. The initial IC value of the 0.25 m-NaOH was separately determined in each flask.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: on days 0, 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18, 22 and 29
- Sampling method: from each front scrubber flask, ten samples were taken in order to determine the emitted C02. The sample volume was 1 mL. The resulting change in the volume of the front flask was considered in the calculation of emitted C02. On day 28, 5 mL HCI 2-m were added to each test flask in order to drive off dissolved C02. On day 29, samples from both scrubber flasks were taken.

- No abiotic degradation was observed - Results with reference substance:
- Degradation of the positive control was 68 % after nine days.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Conclusions:
- When applying the 10-day-window, the test substance is not readily biodegradable following OECD 301B/EU C.4-C.
- Executive summary:
The test item was tested using a concentration of nominally 20 mg organic carbon/L (corresponding to 24.9 mg test substance/L) in test medium following OECD 301B and EU-Method C.4-C. Aniline was chosen as positive control. Activated sludge was used as inoculum (concentration in the test 25 mg dry matter/L). The test was left running for 28 days. All validity criteria were met. Degradation of the positive control was 68 % after nine days. The following data were determined for the test item:
10-day-window: none
degradation at the end of 10-day-window: not detecteddegradation at the end of the test: no degradation
pass level: 60% at the end of 10-day-window
Therefore, when applying the 10-day-window, the test substance is not readily biodegradable following OECD 301B/EU C.4-C.

All validity criteria were met.
Degradation behaviour of positive control and toxicity control was normal. Abiotic degradation was not observed. Both replicates of the test item showed very good correspondence, as well as the two replicates of the positive control.
If degradation in the toxicity flask is below 25% after 14 days, the test item can be considered as toxic towards the inoculum. As degradation in the toxicity flask was 36% after 14 days, the test item can be stated as "not toxic towards the inoculum in a concentration of 25.0 mg/L".
The result of the test can be considered valid.

Additional information
Key study: Experimental result: Test according to OECD guideline 301B and EU method C.4.C.
The test item was tested for aerobic ready biodegradability in the CO2 evolution test. At the end of 10 -day-window degradation was not detected, nor at the end of the test. Therefore, it can be concluded that when applying the 10-day-window, the test substance is not readily biodegradable.
