New GB active substance non-approval decisions

Biocidal products must be phased off the GB market

Following withdrawal of support under the GB BPR, a decision has been taken not to approve 63 active substances/product type combinations in GB.

 

The 63 affected active substance/product type combinations are detailed on a supplementary information tab on the BPR active substance lists for GB and NI.

 

Biocidal products containing these active substances in the relevant product types can no longer be:

  • supplied in GB after 2 February 2025; or
  • used in GB after 2 August 2025

You must manage your stocks of the affected products to ensure they are removed from the GB supply chain by 2 February 2025.

 

New treated articles containing these active substances in the relevant product types cannot enter the supply chain or be imported into GB after 31 July 2024. Treated articles that have entered GB supply chains before this date can continue to be supplied and used.

Any affected GB product approvals under the Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR) will be revoked in line with the above dates.

 

If you are aware of any disproportionate negative impacts that are likely to arise from the non-approval of any of the active substance/product type combinations listed on our website above, please contact us.
