Take action to keep your active substance in the EU Review Programme. The active substance/product type combinations listed have been successfully notified into the EU Review Programme following an open invitation. The next step is for a full active substance dossier to be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) by the following deadline. This affects NI: 6 March 2026 hydrogen peroxide (CAS 7722-84-1 EC 231-765-0) in product types 11 and 12
Only the person, company or task force/consortium that successfully notified the active substance/product type combinations listed can submit a dossier.
If any of these active substance/product type combinations are important to you, consider contacting the notifier to let them know. You may even be able to join them in supporting the active substance. Check the ECHA list of notifications If a dossier is not submitted by the deadline, these active substance/product type combinations will be subject to an EU non-approval decision. This means the active substance will no longer be able to be used in biocidal products of the relevant product types in NI. In addition articles treated with such products will no longer be able to be placed on the market in NI. HSE will provide separate updates on these where relevant. |
