COPR database unavailable

Contact us if you need to access information about approved products

The Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR) database of approved products is currently unavailable. We are working on a replacement which will be available in the coming weeks.

 

In the meantime, if you have a query about the products that have been approved under COPR, please contact us and our team will do their best to assist you.

 

We apologise for any inconvenience during this period.


Reminder – upcoming deadline to tell HSE where you are located

Action for UK product authorisation holders

If you hold a biocidal product authorisation that was originally granted under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (EU BPR) and is currently valid in the UK, you must contact HSE by 31 December 2021 to confirm that you are based in the UK.

 

If you do not contact HSE by 31 December 2021, we will contact you to confirm that your authorisation, originally granted under the EU BPR, has been cancelled.

 

Location requirements for product authorisations in GB

Under the GB Biocidal Products Regulation (GB BPR), product authorisation holders must be established in the UK. This means that you, or your business, must have a physical presence in GB or NI. This must be:

  • your permanent business location; or
  • the permanent location of the human and technical resources needed to carry out, either in whole or in part, your business operations.

Location requirements for product authorisations in NI

Under the EU BPR, product authorisation holders must be established in the EU. This means that you, or your business, must have a physical presence in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or in Northern Ireland. This must be:

  • your permanent business location; or
  • the permanent location of the human and technical resources needed to carry out, either in whole or in part, your business operations.

How to tell HSE where you are located:

  1. complete this EU Exit biocides establishment form (.docx)
  2. email the form to biocidesapplications@hse.gov.uk
  3. provide additional information (outlined in the checklist in Section 3 of the form) using HSE's Secure File Sharing Service
