European Union notifies a substance in biocidal products
On the 7th of March 2022, the EU notifies the decision to not approve N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-dodecylpropane1,3-diamine as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products. This decision was made due to the human health risks posed by the substance. The EU focuses on harmonizing the EU market for biocidal products while protecting human health and the environment.
During the assessment of the substance in 2020, ECHA identified an unacceptable risk both for primary and secondary exposure, relating to industrial users and the scenario of infants and toddlers playing on the playground, respectively. However, there is no unacceptable risk for the environment if the appropriate measures are taken. Combining the two assessments, the conclusion is that there is no safe use or mitigation measures that can be adopted for avoiding the substance’s health risks.
The final date to
comment on this proposal is the 6th of May 2022.
