On 2nd of December 2021, the ECHA Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) recommended the approval of ABDAC/BKC and adopted the BPC opinion for PT2 by simple majority. Two Member States (Germany and Finland) raised their concerns about unacceptable risk for environment, mainly for the soil compartment.

In the recent meeting of Coordination Group (CG-54), a proposal of the Austrian Member State was discussed which has been raised in a CG e-consultation, concerning information on the use frequency of products (“Number and timing of application”) for use in PT 1, PT2 and PT4 given by the applicants in SPC and PAR for BPR product authorization.
