News on the regulation of biocides in Europe:
ECHA/NA/16/31
The regulation on the authorisation of same biocidal products has been updated to add new possibilities requested by industry. Companies are now able to get a national authorisation when a Union authorisation application exists for an identical product. The regulation will enter into force on 1 November.
Helsinki, 12 October 2016 – The Same Biocidal Products Regulation lays down a procedure for companies to get a secondary authorisation for a product based on either an existing authorisation or an on-going authorisation application for an identical product.
The regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 12 October and will enter into force on 1 November 2016.
To allow for the new possibilities, ECHA will launch updated versions of the biocides IT tools – R4BP 3 and the SPC Editor – when the regulation enters into force.
Support will be available: a new web page, a practical guide and updated submission manuals will be published and a webinar on this topic will take place on 9 November 2016.

Helsinki, 12 October 2016 – The Same Biocidal Products Regulation lays down a procedure for companies to get a secondary authorisation for a product based on either an existing authorisation or an on-going authorisation application for an identical product.
- Following the update of the regulation, companies can now also use this authorisation procedure for:
- a product when it is part of a product family for which an authorisation (or authorisation application) exists;
- a product family when it is part of a larger product family for which an authorisation (or authorisation application) exists;
- national authorisation when a corresponding Union authorisation (or authorisation application) exists.
The regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 12 October and will enter into force on 1 November 2016.
To allow for the new possibilities, ECHA will launch updated versions of the biocides IT tools – R4BP 3 and the SPC Editor – when the regulation enters into force.
