The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has announced significant information regarding biocides regulation in Great Britain (GB), separate from the European Union's framework. With upcoming deadlines and expiry dates, stakeholders in the biocides market should take note to ensure compliance.

GB Biocidal Products Regulation (GB BPR) Open Invitation Deadlines

Under the GB BPR, an open invitation has been issued to signal intent to participate in the GB Review Programme for specific active substance/product type combinations. Stakeholders wishing to maintain a particular biocide in the GB market must meet the notification deadline below:

  • Peanut butter in product type 19 : Notification must be submitted by 14 March 2024.

Lack of notification by the deadline will result in a non-approval decision, requiring the removal of products containing the relevant active substances from the GB market. Stakeholders should submit a notification promptly to avoid market disruptions.

Active Substance Expiry Dates Approaching

Several biocidal active substances are due to expire under the GB BPR on the following dates. Products containing these substances must be phased out from the GB market:

  • Warfarin in product type 14 : Expire on 30 June 2024.
  • PHMB (1600;1.8) in product types 02, 03, and 11 : Expire on 30 June 2024.
  • Chlorophacinone in product type 14 : Expire on 30 June 2024.
  • Chlorfenapyr in product type 08 : Expire on 30 April 2025.
  • Propiconazole in product type 09 : Expire on 31 May 2025.

Authorities will liaise with stakeholders holding current authorisations or approvals to discuss cancellation or revocation. Affected parties are urged to contact HSE regarding potential negative impacts.
