Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- not performed
- Test performance:
- CO2 evolution in control vessel was 55 mg/L after 28 days. This satisfies the OECD 301B validity criterion.
IC/TC ratio: see 'overall remarks'
Difference between replicates was <20%. This satisfies the OECD 301B validity criterion.
% Degradation
- Parameter:
- % degradation (CO2 evolution)
- Value:
- 17
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- The total CO2 evolution in the control vessels on day 28 was 55 mg/l (= 201 mg/ 3 l). Although the CO2 evolution was in excess of 40 mg/l at the end of the test, this was considered not to affect the integrity of the study as the upper level of 70 mg/l given in the OECD guideline was not exceeded.
toxicity control: >25% after 14 days, 54% after 28 days
standard material: degradation > 60% by day 14 (80% after 15 days)
IC/TC ratio: not reported
pH of the test solutions: not reported

Theoretical carbon content of the test material was calculated to be 61.99%.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the CO2 evolution test was the test material shown to be not readily biodegradable (17% degradation after 28 days).
- Executive summary:
The ready biodegradability of the test material was assessed according to OECD 301B CO2 evolution test (Modified Sturm Test). The test was performed in agreement with the OECD 301B guideline and fulfilled the validity criteria. No biodegradation of the test material was observed (based on CO2 evolution). The test substance is therefore not ready biodegradable.
