1 Formulated Biocidal Products Under the BPR Dr. Anna Gergely Director, EHS Regulatory Steptoe, Brussels Office June 14,

2 Presentation Overview Two-step procedure for formulated product approval Active substances authorization Biocidal products authorization Mutual recognition of product authorization: in parallel in sequence Derogation Coordination Group Transitional measures for the Review Program 2

3 Active Substance Active substance substance or a micro-organism that has an action on or against harmful organisms (Article 3(1)(c)) Harmful organism an organism, including pathogenic agents, which has an unwanted presence or a detrimental effect on humans, their activities or the products they use or produce, on animals or the environment (Article 3(1)(g)) 3

4 Active Substance Exclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria Article 5 (New) some active substances are generally excluded (CMR, PBT, vpvb, endocrine disruptors) BUT: could be approved exceptionally for 5 years if risk is negligible due to controlled exposure; OR evidence demonstrates that the active is essential; OR disproportionate negative societal impact of non-approval combination of hazard and risk considerations 4

5 Active Substance Candidate for Substitution Candidates for substitution Article 10 (New) If: any of the exclusion criteria, respiratory sensitizers, low ADI/AOEL, specific exposure concerns approval considers ECHA consultation on substitutes maximum 7 years approval/renewal, earmarked as candidate for substitution 5

6 Active Substance Approval Application made to ECHA Proposing Member State to conduct the assessment (with MS s CA agreement) ECHA adopts opinion and Commission takes a decision active valid in EU/EEA Approval lasts: 10 years maximum 5 or 7 years where candidate for substitution Commission may review active approval at any time when significant safety concerns (cancellation or amendment) 6

7 Biocidal Products Article 3(1)(a) (New extended definition) Any substance or mixture, in the form in which it is supplied to the user, consisting of, containing or generating one or more active substances, with the intention of destroying, deterring, rendering harmless, preventing the action of, or otherwise exerting a controlling effect on, any harmful organism by any means other than mere physical or mechanical action Any substance or mixture generated from substances or mixtures which are not themselves biocidal products under the first paragraph to be used with the intention of destroying, deterring, rendering harmless, preventing the action of, or otherwise exerting a controlling effect on, any harmful organism by any means other than mere physical or mechanical action A treated article that has a primary biocidal function shall be considered a biocidal product 7

9 Conditions for Authorization Conditions for authorization (Article 19) active substances are approved for the relevant product-type and any conditions specified are met; the biocidal product, when used as authorized fulfills the following criteria: (i) the biocidal product is sufficiently effective; (ii) no unacceptable effects on the target organisms (unacceptable resistance, crossresistance or unnecessary suffering and pain for vertebrates); (iii) the biocidal product has no immediate or delayed unacceptable effects itself, or as a result of its residues, on human or animal health, including that of vulnerable groups directly or through drinking water, food, feed, air, or through other indirect effects; (iv) the biocidal product has no unacceptable effects itself, or as a result of its residues, on the environment, having particular regard to the following considerations: the fate and distribution of the biocidal product in the environment; contamination of surface waters (including estuarial and seawater), groundwater and drinking water, air and soil, taking into account locations distant from its use following long-range environmental transportation; the impact of the biocidal product on non-target organisms; the impact of the biocidal product on biodiversity and the ecosystem; 9

10 Conditions for Authorization (cont.) the chemical identity, quantity and technical equivalence of active substances in the biocidal product and, where appropriate, any toxicologically or ecotoxicologically significant and relevant impurities and non-active substances, and its residues of toxicological or environmental significance, which result from uses to be authorized, can be determined according to the relevant requirements in Annexes II & III; the physical and chemical properties of the biocidal product have been determined and deemed acceptable for the purposes of the appropriate use and transport of the product; where appropriate, maximum residue limits for food and feed have been established with respect to active substances contained in a biocidal product in accordance with [existing regulations] where nanomaterials are used, the risk to the environment and to health has been assessed separately. 10

11 Conditions for Authorization (cont.) Evaluation Criteria Realistic worst case use conditions (also for treated articles) Consequences of use and disposal Cumulative effects Synergistic effects Authorization only granted for uses where required information was provided Excluded from authorization for the general public: CMRs, toxic (1,2 or 3), PBT, vpvb, ED, dev. neurotoxic or immunotoxic effects unless disproportionate negative impacts 11

12 Biocidal Product MS Authorization Member State Authorizations (Article 29) Submit application to Member State Competent Authority (validate within 30 days after fees paid) Member State conducts assessment and drafts assessment report (within 365 days + max 180 days suspension if further information is requested) Approval valid in relevant Member State only 12
