Approval of formaldehyde (RP 3:2) as active substance for biocidal products

This procedure concerns the approval of a specific chemical substance (formaldehyde released from the reaction of paraformaldehyde and 2-hydroxypropylamine) for use in biocidal products. It ensures that the substance meets EU safety and environmental standards before it can be used in disinfectants, preservatives, and other pest control products.

This affects manufacturers and users of biocidal products in categories such as disinfectants and preservatives. It ensures that only substances with a proven safety profile are permitted on the EU market.
