29 June 2024 Any person, company or taskforce/consortium can support an active substance/product type combination for renewal â it doesnât have to be the original supporter. Â Check the EU Article 95 List to see who the original supporters were. Â If a renewal application is not submitted for the above active substance/product type combinations under EU BPR, the approvals will expire. This means the active substances can no longer be used in biocidal products of the relevant product types in NI. Active substance expiry date postponed whilst the renewal evaluation is completed in the EU For reasons beyond the control of the applicant, the approval of the active substance/product type combination listed below was likely to expire before a decision could be taken on its renewal under the EU BPR. Â To allow sufficient time for the renewal evaluation to be completed, a decision has been taken to postpone the expiry of the approval until the following date. This affects NI: 1-[[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole (Propiconazole) (CAS 60207-90-1 EC 262-104-4) in product type 8
