Reminder – upcoming GB active substance open invitation deadlines

Submit a notification by the deadline to keep active substances in the GB Review Programme

HSE has published open invitations to provide an opportunity for a person, company or task force/consortium to notify an intention to take up or take over the role of participant in the GB Review Programme for several active substance/product type combinations.

 

Find out which active substance/product type combinations have open invitations (.PDF)

 

IMPORTANT: The open invitation list contains active substance/product type combinations that have not yet been supported in GB – product manufacturers are advised to check the list to find out if the active substances used in their products are affected and to raise this with their active substance suppliers.

 

Anyone wishing to support one of the active substance/product type combinations on the list in GB will need to submit a notification (.docx) to HSE by 12 November 2022.

 

If a notification to take over the role of participant is not received, these active substance/product type combinations will be subject to a GB non-approval decision. Biocidal products containing active substances with GB non-approval decisions for the relevant product types will have to be removed from the GB market. HSE will provide separate updates on these where relevant.

 

If you are aware of any disproportionate negative effects that are likely to arise from the non-approval of any of the active substance/product type combinations listed above, please contact us.


Reminder – upcoming GB active substance renewal submission deadlines

Apply for active substance renewal by the deadlines to keep products on the GB market

Under the GB Biocidal Products Regulation (GB BPR), active substance approvals will expire unless a renewal application is submitted at least 550 days before their expiry date.

 

The 550-day deadlines are coming up for the following active substance/product type combinations under GB BPR:

  • Carbon dioxide (CAS 124-38-9 EC 204-696-9) in product type 15
    28 November 2023

  • (RS)-α-cyano-3phenoxybenzyl-(1RS)-cis, trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (Cypermethrin) (CAS 52315-07-8 EC 257-842-9) in product type 8 
    28 November 2023

  • 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 9
    28 November 2023

Any person, company or taskforce/consortium can support an active substance/product type combination for renewal – it doesn't have to be the original supporter.

 

Check the GB Article 95 List to see who the original supporters were

 

If a renewal application is not submitted for the above active substance/product type combinations under GB BPR, the approvals will expire. This means the active substances can no longer be used in biocidal products of the relevant product types in Great Britain.


Are your contact details up to date?

Make sure you are receiving important information about your product authorisations and approvals

If you hold product authorisations and approvals in Great Britain under the GB BPR or the Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR), you should make sure HSE has the right contact details for you.

 

If the details we hold are out of date, you may not receive important information about your product authorisation or approval.
