Highlights from the September 2022 meeting of our Biocidal Products Committee. Our guest is Erik van de Plassche, the Chair of the Committee.


We talk about:

Active substance approvals

  • Properties that lead to meeting exclusion or substitution criteria, specifically persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic or very persistent and very bioaccumulative substances.
  • Sulphur dioxide generated from sulphur by combustion for the food and feed area as well as Sulphur dioxide released from sodium metabisulphite for fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised material preservatives.
  • Ozone generated from oxygen for several product-types.
  • Mecetronium ethyl sulphate (MES) for human hygiene.

  • Requests from the European Commission

    • Iodine and PVP-iodine as disinfectants– opinion on whether they are considered to have endocrine disrupting properties for humans and non-target organisms.
    • Comparative assessment of anticoagulant rodenticides and rodent traps.
      • Listen to our previous episode where the draft guidance for comparative assessment of anticoagulant rodenticides was discussed.

      • Union authorisations

        • Union authorisation application for active chlorine released from sodium hypochlorite (biocidal products family with large consortiums as applicants)

        • What the Biocidal Products Committee does

          The Committee prepares scientific opinions for the European Commission on biocidal active substances and on EU-wide authorisations of biocidal products.
