Biocides EU EU chemicals strategy EU REACH Product classification
On March 11, 2022, the commission announces its decision of a biocidal product in line with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council. A product that contains capsicum oleoresin expeller pressed to be used as a repellent against cats and dogs is classified a biocidal product. Therefore, it falls under product-type 19 which is defined by the regulation as products used to control harmful organisms like fleas, rodents, etc., by repelling either directly on the skin or indirectly in the environment.
Biocidal products are necessary, however, they pose risks to humans, animals, and the environment. The commission is committed to ensuring the movement of biocidal products in the European Union while ensuring that humans, animals, and the environment are highly protected against its risks.
Therefore,
this decision notifies an addition to the list of biocidal products and the
proposed date of adoption is June 2022 and comments are open till May 9, 2022.
