Biocides can be used by professionals and members of the public in a wide spectrum. Of use areas that are classified into product-types. To make sure the use of biocidal products do not have unacceptable risks for people. Non-target animals and the environment. However they are regulated to control their marketing sale and use in order to minimise any risk.
The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) concerns the placing on the market and use of biocidal products, which are used to protect humans, animals, materials or articles against harmful organisms like pests or bacteria, by the action of the active substances contained in the biocidal product. This regulation aims to improve the functioning of the biocidal products market in the EU. While ensuring a high level of protection for humans and the environment.
The text was adopted on 22 May 2012 and will be applicable from 1 September 2013. With a transitional period for certain provisions. It will repeal the Biocidal Products Directive (Directive 98/8/EC).

This takes place in two consecutive steps. As the first step. The active substance is evaluated and that’s why provided the criteria are fulfilled. Is then approved in a specified product-type (PT). The second step is the authorisation of each BP consisting of, containing or generating the approved active substance(s).
