Biocidal Products

Biocides are, by definition, products used in a variety of industries to control unwanted organisms, such as animals, insects, bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are intended to kill or otherwise exert a controlling effect by chemical or biological means.

The Biocidal Products Directive (98/8/EC) aims to harmonise the European market for biocidal products and their active substances. At the same time it aims to provide a high level of protection for humans, animals and the environment.

Registration is necessary for any of the following categories of product:
      • Human hygiene biocidal products
      • Private area and public health area disinfectants and other biocidal products
      • Veterinary hygiene biocidal products
      • Food and feed area disinfectants
      • Drinking water disinfectants
      • In-can preservatives and metalworking-fluid preservatives
      • Fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised materials preservatives
      • Film preservatives 
      • Masonary preservatives
      • Preservatives for liquid-cooling and processing systems
      • Slimicides
      • Avicides
      • Piscicides
      • Preservatives for food or feedstocks
      • Embalming and taxidermist fluids
