Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test material attaines 25% degradation after 28 days and therefore connot be considered to be readily biodegradable under the strict terms and conditions of OECD Guideline No 301B.
