GB Article 95 List – take action by 31 December 2022

Resubmit data and confirm you are based in the UK by 31 December 2022

Biocidal active substance and product suppliers included on the EU Article 95 List at the end of the EU exit transition period on 31 December 2020 were automatically added to the GB Article 95 List.

 

If you wish to remain on the GB Article 95 List after 31 December 2022, you must:

If you have already provided your data or letter of access to comply with earlier GB resubmission deadlines, you do not need to submit this again.

 

Suppliers that fail to complete both actions by 31 December 2022 will be removed from the GB Article 95 List.

 

IMPORTANT: Biocidal products containing active substances sourced from suppliers that are removed from the list cannot be supplied in GB – product suppliers are advised to check with their active supplier that the necessary actions are being taken.


Reminder – upcoming GB active substance dossier submission deadline

Take action to keep your active substance in the GB Review Programme

The active substance/product type combination listed below has been successfully notified into the GB Review Programme following an open invitation.

 

The next step is for a full active substance dossier to be submitted to HSE by the following deadline:

  • Peanut Butter (CAS n/a EC n/a) in product type 19
    17 December 2022

Only the person, company or taskforce/consortium that successfully notified the active substance/product type combination listed above 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 list of successful notifiers.

 

If a dossier is not submitted by the deadline, this active substance/product type combination will be subject to a GB non-approval decision.

 

Biocidal products containing active substances with GB non-approval decisions for the relevant product type will have to be removed from the GB market. HSE will provide separate updates on these where relevant.


Reminder – upcoming GB active substance expiry dates

Biocidal products must be phased off the GB market

The active substance/product type combinations listed below are due to expire under the GB BPR on the following dates:

  • Cyclohexylhydroxydiazene 1-oxide, potassium salt (K-HDO) (CAS 66603-10-9 EC n/a in product type 8
    31 December 2022

  • Abamectin as a mixture of avermectin B1a (EINECS 265-610-3) and avermectin B1b (EINECS 265-611-9) (CAS 71751-41-2 EC n/a in product type 18
    30 June 2023

Once the approvals expire, the active substances can no longer be used in biocidal products of the relevant product types in Great Britain.

 

If you hold an affected GB BPR product authorisation or Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR) product approval, we will contact you about cancelling or revoking your authorisation or approval. You will have an opportunity to submit comments or additional information and we will take account of these when finalising our decision.

 

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