The EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) 528\/2012 allows several authorization routes. For example, biocidal products may be authorized on the national level and recognized mutually by other Member States. Another alternative is European Union-wide authorization via the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). If a request is made to the ECHA, substances can be tested in an EU-wide procedure so that they can be included on the &#8220;positive list&#8221; of biocidal products (Union authorization). If this is the case, companies can apply for biocidal products containing this substance to be authorized in individual EU Member States.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once an active substance has been tested by the ECHA, the European Commission decides whether to authorize it and issues an implementing decision. This specifies how long an active substance is authorized for. This is generally for two years after the decision.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4>Authorization of biocides at national level<\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The authorization process for biocidal products in the EU therefore involves two stages. The authorization bodies in the Member States are responsible on the national level. In Germany, this is the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Bundesanstalt f\u00fcr Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin \u2013 BauA). In addition, the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) tests the effects of biocidal products on humans and the environment. Biocidal products must always be authorized by the UBA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the European Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) also specifies that authorization may be refused on the national level for environmental protection reasons, even if substances are in principle authorized for EU-wide use.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simplified procedure is laid out in the European Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) for products with a good environmental and health profile. It applies to products whose active substances are listed in Annex I of the Regulation and which do not otherwise contain any substances that pose a risk to the environment or health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4>Duration of approval and re-approval<\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorization of biocidal products expires after a maximum of ten years and must be reapplied for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entire product families can also be authorized. Examples of these product families are those which only differ in terms of fragrances or colorants. If a product family has already been authorized, products only need to be reported and then they can be used on the European market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1154\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1154\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Does the transitional arrangement apply to biocides for your company?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1154\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1154\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Review Programme Regulation for existing active substances <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">applies to active substances that were on the market in the EU before 2000.

This process is not straightforward and requires some background knowledge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biocides are also listed in the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GADSL<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This is updated each year to include substances in the automotive industry that need to be declared. In this case, the options available in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imds-professional.com\/en\/database-imds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IMDS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should not be used to obscure these substances for other reasons, such as to safeguard trade secrets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4>Reasons for the obligation to declare substances<\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Substances may need to be declared for various reasons. For example, a law may be in place that states that Substances of Very High Concern (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SVHC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) must be reported, or a declaration may be mandatory from a materials technology perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A substance may also be prohibited under any circumstances whatsoever. In this case, it is necessary to check what this prohibition applies to. For example, you may need to determine if the substance is only used as a biocide. However, a \u201cmandatory declaration\/prohibited\u201d category also exists, which is a combination of \u201cprohibited\u201d and \u201csubject to declaration\u201d. This basically means a prohibition with some exceptions. For example, lead is completely prohibited in automotive components, but there are precisely defined exceptions (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ELV<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) for certain components.<\/span><\/p><h4>Expert advice and support on biocide issues<\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have extensive knowledge of biocides and their use in the automotive industry. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to find out how we can support you.
