Active substance expiry date postponed whilst the renewal evaluation is completed in the EU
For reasons beyond the control of the applicant, the approval of the active substance/product type combination listed below was likely to expire before a decision could be taken on its renewal under the EU BPR.
To allow sufficient time for the renewal evaluation to be completed, a decision has been taken to postpone the expiry date of the following approval. This affects NI:
If you want to supply new biocidal products containing this active substance, 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 a separate update on the renewal decision when relevant.

Any person, company or task force/consortium can support an active substance/product type combination for renewal – it doesn’t have to be the original supporter.
Check the EU Article 95 List to see who the original supporters were.
If any of these active substance/product type combinations are important to you, consider contacting your supplier to let them know.
If a renewal application is not submitted for the above active substance/product type combinations under EU BPR, the approvals will expire. This means the active substances can no longer be used in biocidal products or treated articles of the relevant product types in NI.
