The two substances are approved with effect from  October 1st 2016.

The specific conditions under which the substances may be approved are indicated in the Annexes to the Regulations.

Reminder of the new features of the Registry for Biocidal Products

As a reminder, in a press-release issued on April 27th 2015, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) announced the release of the new version of the Registry for Biocidal Products (R4BP 3).

  • The first new feature allows companies to submit multiple change requests for product authorisations in parallel, thus making the registry more user-friendly.
  • The second feature enhances visibility and synchronisation between applications submitted for a group of assets, thus reducing the administrative work and the communication time.
