| | | | Active substance expiry dates postponed whilst the renewal evaluation is completed in the EU. For reasons beyond the control of the applicants, the approvals of the active substance/product type combinations listed were likely to expire before a decision could be taken on their renewal under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (EU BPR). To allow sufficient time for the renewal evaluation to be completed, a decision has been taken to postpone the expiry dates of the following approvals. This affects NI: From 30 June 2025 to 30 June 2026 Medetomidine (CAS 86347-14-0 EC 811-718-6) in product type 21
From 31 July 2025 to 31 July 2026 3-iodo-2-propynylbutylcarbamate (IPBC) (CAS 55406-53-6 EC 259-627-5) in product type 8
From 31 July 2025 to 31 January 2028 Reaction mass of N,N- didecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium carbonate and N,N-didecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bicarbonate (DDACarbonate) (CAS 894406-76-9 EC 451-900-9) in product type 8
From 31 August 2025 to 29 February 2028 Isopropyl-(2E,4E,7S)-11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,4-dodeca-dienoate (s-methoprene) (CAS 65733-16-6 EC 613-834-0) in product type 18 n-Octanoic acid (octanoic acid) (CAS 124-07-2 EC 204-677-5) in product type 4 Iodine (CAS 7553-56-2 EC 231-442-4) in product type 3 bis(N-cyclohexyl-diazenium-dioxy)-copper (Cu-HDO) (CAS 312600-89-8 EC 608-595-4) in product type 8 3-phenoxybenzyl(1R,3R)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (1R-trans-phenothrin) (CAS 26046-85-5 EC 247-431-2) in product type 18 Polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine (CAS 25655-41-8 EC 607-771-8) in product types 1 and 3 n-Decanoic acid (decanoic acid) (CAS 334-48-5 EC 206-376-4) in product type 4

If you want to supply new biocidal products containing these active substances, you can still apply for EU BPR product authorisation. New products (including new trade names) must not be supplied in NI until product authorisation is granted.
HSE will provide separate updates on the renewal decisions when relevant. |
