Understanding biocidal legislation is quite challenging. If you want to market biocidal products in the EU or the UK and need advice or help, you are in the right place.
Placing biocidal products on the EU market is regulated by regulation No.
528/2012 (in short BPR).
A biocidal product is a substance or a mixture with the intention of
destroying, deterring, rendering harmless, preventing the action of, or
otherwise exerting a controlling effect on, any harmful organism by any means
other than mere physical or mechanical action. The biocidal product contains a
biocidal active substance or substances causing this effect.
Biocidal products placed on the EU market can contain only active substances listed on the List of Active substances (Annex II Regulation No. 1062/2014). All active substances must be approved for their use (Product Type – PT) or evaluated. If the substance is not on the list or there is no intended use, a new application must be submitted. The process is named Approval of Active Substance. When the active substance is approved, the biocidal product must be authorized before placing on the EU market. The process is called Biocidal Product Authorization.
BPs containing ASs in review program can be placed on the EU Member states markets following national rules. This process is called Biocidal Product Notification.
Suppliers of ASs have to be listed in the List of AS and Suppliers, regardless, whether the biocidal product is notified or authorized.
