Biocidal products

Draft Commission Implementing Decision repealing Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1486 postponing the expiry date of the approval of acrolein for use in biocidal products of product-type 12; (3 page(s), in English)

This draft Commission Implementing Decision repeals the postponement of the expiry date of the approval of acrolein as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product type 12.

On 28 February 2019, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for the renewal of the approval of acrolein for use in biocidal products of product-type 12.

On 6 October 2022, the evaluating Competent Authority (CA) has informed ECHA and the Commission that the applicant has withdrawn its support for acrolein for PT12. Consequently, a draft Decision is being prepared to not renew the approval of acrolein for PT12. Further to that Decision, it is necessary to repeal the postponement of the expiry date of the approval of acrolein. The present draft Decision therefore intends to repeal Decision (EU) 2022/1486 postponing the expiry date of the approval of acrolein for PT12.
