Companies applying for renewal of approvals of BPR active substances from 1 July 2026 can only submit applications in the IUCLID format. Entrepreneurs must prepare for the development of documentation in an appropriate format.
In accordance with Article 79 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products, applications for approval of an active substance for use in biocidal products must be submitted in the format of the International Uniform Chemical Information Database – IUCLID. Despite the provisions of Article 79, in practice it was accepted to provide other data formats for active substances covered by the Review Programme.
In order to ensure compliance with the format and provisions of Regulation (EU) 528/2012, the European Chemicals Agency has informed that from 1 July 2026, all applications for renewal of approvals of an active substance for use in biocidal products must be submitted in the IUCLID format.
What does this mean for entrepreneurs?
All data, including information from the initial application for marketing authorisation of the active substance, must be compiled and submitted in IUCLID format.
