Reminder – upcoming EU active substance dossier submission deadlines

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

The active substance/product type combinations listed below have been successfully notified into the EU Review Programme following open invitations.

 

The next step is for a full active substance dossier to be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) by the following deadlines. This affects NI:

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

  • 2,2-dibromo-2-cyanoacetamide (DBNPA) (CAS 10222-01-2 EC 233-539-7) in product type 2
    19 June 2023

Only the person, company or taskforce/consortium that successfully notified the active substance/product type combinations 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 ECHA list of notifications.

 

If a dossier is not submitted by the deadline, these active substance/product type combinations will be subject to an EU non-approval decision.

 

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


Reminder – upcoming EU active substance open invitation deadline

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

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has published an open invitation 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 EU Review Programme for the following active substance/product type combinations. This affects NI.

 

Anyone wishing to support one of the active substance/product type combinations listed below in the EU will need to submit a notification to ECHA by the following deadline:

  • Silver-polyethylenimine-chloride (CAS n/a EC n/a) in product types 1, 2 and 9
    23 May 2023

If a notification to take over the role of participant is not received, these active substance/product type combinations will be subject to an EU non-approval decision.

 

Biocidal products containing active substances with EU non-approval decisions for the relevant product types will have to be removed from the NI 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.


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 Northern Ireland under the EU 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.

 

Update your details.
