  • Reaction products of aluminium trihydroxide and hydrochloric acid and aluminium and water (CAS n/a EC n/a) in product type 2

In cases where active substance/product type combinations are not supported, GB biocides regulations require that these active substance/product type combinations are subject to a GB non-approval decision.

Once a decision is taken, biocidal products containing these active substances in the relevant product types will have to be removed from the GB market. HSE will provide separate updates on the decision and relevant phase-out periods.


Important: If you are aware of any disproportionate negative effects that are likely to arise from the non-approval of any of the active substance/product type combinations listed above, please contact us by 4 February 2022.


Are your contact details up to date?

Make sure you are receiving important information about your product authorisations and approvals

If you hold product authorisations and approvals in Great Britain under the GB BPR or the Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR), you should make sure HSE has the right contact details for you.

 

If the details we hold are out of date, you may not receive important information about your product authorisation or approval.
