Deadline: 14 March 2023 Annexes II and III of GB Biocidal Products Regulation (GB BPR) detail the information that must be submitted by an applicant who wishes to apply for a biocidal active substance or product to be approved. Flexibility within the GB BPR allows the data requirements in Annexes II and III to be updated to take account of current scientific and technical knowledge. HSE proposes that Annexes II and III of GB BPR should be modified to meet the needs of Great Britain. The aims of the changes are to: - keep up with technical and scientific progress
- adopt new testing methods
- encourage in vitro studies rather than in vivo animal studies
HSE has launched a consultationto gather views on the proposed changes. View the consultation, where you can submit your comments to HSE. The consultation closes on 14 March 2023. |
