Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 on the market and use of biocidal products

This procedure updates the lists of approved active substances that can be used in biocidal products within the EU. It ensures that the chemicals used to control pests, bacteria, and fungi meet current safety and environmental standards to protect human health and the ecosystem.

This affects manufacturers and distributors of biocidal products, such as disinfectants and preservatives, by changing which chemical ingredients are legally permitted for use in the EU market.
