 Surfactants and surfactants contained in detergents shall be considered as achieving ultimate aerobic biodegradation if they meet one of the following criteria:

(a)

the level of biodegradability (mineralisation) is at least 60 % within 28 days measured in accordance with one of the following test methods:

(i)

method C.4.-C CO2 evolution test, described in Part C, Part IV, of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (1);

(ii)

method C.4-D Manometric respirometry test, described in Part C, Part V, of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008;

(iii)

method C.4-E Closed bottle test, described in Part C, Part VI, of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008;

(iv)

method C.4-F M.I.T.I. test, described in Part C, Part VII, of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008;

(b)

the level of biodegradability (mineralisation) is at least 70 % within 28 days measured in accordance with one of the following test methods:

(i)

method C.4-A DOC die-away test, described in Part C, Part II, of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008;

(ii)

method C.4-B Modified OECD screening test described in Part C, Part III, of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008.

Pre-adaptation shall not be used and the 10-day window principle shall not be applied in any of the test methods referred to in this point.
