• From 1 January 2021, Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) will put in place a regulatory framework for biocidal products. It will be similar to EU framework (EU BPR), but both will operate independently of each other.

​

• All applications will be submitted to HSE as regulating authority

 

• Biocidal product authorizations and active substance approvals that are valid in GB will remain valid until their normal expiry date. The authorization will need to be transferred to a company based in UK.

 

• The authorization holder of biocidal actives and products will need to be established in the UK by 1st January 2022.

 

• Respective data might have to be resubmitted to HSE. These data will be the same data or other information that you previously submitted to ECHA or other competent authorities.

 

• Biocidal product or active substance applications still under evaluation after 31st December 2020 will be continued by HSE where possible to grant the authorization. Information supporting the original application has to be resubmitted for enabling HSE to complete the evaluation within 90 or 180 days depending on your situation.

​

• A UK article 95 list for approved a.s. suppliers will be established similar to the EU Article 95 list. To stay on the UK Article 95 list  you will have to comply with the according requirements within 2 years’ time.
