Submit a notification by the deadline to keep active substances in the EU Review Programme
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published an open invitation to provide an opportunity for a person, company or task force/consortium to notify an intention to take up or take over the role of participant in the EU Review Programme for the following active substance/product type combinations. This affects NI.
Anyone wishing to support one of the active substance/product type combinations listed in the EU will need to submit a notification to ECHA by the following deadline:
21 December 2024
- Pyrithione zinc (zinc pyrithione) (CAS 13463-41-7 EC 236-671-3) in product types 2 and 10
If a notification to take over the role of participant is not received, these active substance/product type combinations will be subject to an EU non-approval decision. This means the active substance will no longer be able to be used in biocidal products of the relevant product types in NI.
In addition articles treated with such products will no longer be able to be placed on the market in NI. HSE will provide separate updates on these where relevant.
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, please contact us.
