Biocidal products

Draft Commission Implementing Regulation approving reaction mass of N,N-didecyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 8 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council; (2 page(s), in English), (3 page(s), in English)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1093 approved the existing active substance didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate for use in biocidal products of product-type 8. Following Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, this active substance was redefined in September 2022, during the evaluation of the substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 2 and 4, to reaction mass of N,N-didecyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate ('DMPAP'). As a result, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1093 should be repealed and replaced by this draft Implementing Regulation, which updates the redefined identity of the substance, from didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl)ammonium propionate to DMPAP.
