This will affect Northern Ireland (NI):

If you want to supply biocidal products containing this active substance, you can now apply for EU BPR product authorisation. Products must not be supplied in NI until product authorisation is granted.

 

Apply for product authorisation to keep your products on the NI market

Following evaluation under EU BPR, a decision has been taken to add the active substances listed below to Annex I.

 

This will affect Northern Ireland. If you supply biocidal products containing these active substances, you must apply for EU BPR product authorisation by the following dates to keep them on the NI market:

If you want to supply new biocidal products containing these active substances, you can also now apply for EU BPR product authorisation. New products (including new trade names) must not be supplied in NI until product authorisation is granted.


EU active substance expiry dates postponed

Active substance expiry dates postponed whilst the renewal evaluation is completed in the EU

For reasons beyond the control of the applicants, the approvals of the active substance/product type combinations listed below were likely to expire before a decision could be taken on their renewal under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (EU BPR).

 

To allow sufficient time for the renewal evaluation to be completed, a decision has been taken to postpone the expiry of the approvals until the following dates.

 

This affects Northern Ireland (NI):

If you want to supply new biocidal products containing these active substances, you can still apply for EU BPR product authorisation. New products (including new trade names) must not be supplied in NI until product authorisation is granted.

 

HSE will provide separate updates on the renewal decisions when relevant.
