Discover Looking for guidance on biocides? Find it here. How can a substance qualify for use as an active substance for biocides in EU? A substance can only be used for this if certain conditions are met: The substance must be assessed and formally approved based on a scientific evaluation performed by European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the EU Member States. An active substance dossier includes comprehensive data on the substance’s identity, physicochemical properties, (eco-))toxicological profile, environmental fate, and intended uses. The assessment must demonstrate that the substance is effective for the intended biocidal purpose and no unacceptable risks to human health, animal health, or the environment are found. Once approved, the substance is included in the Union list of approved active substances, published by ECHA. Only after these steps can a substance be eligible for use in the EU. CEHTRA’s expert team have a proven track record of preparing and submitting active substance dossiers (new approvals, renewals, Annex I inclusions, etc.) and supporting companies until successful approval is established. How do I place a biocidal product or a biocidal product family on the market in the EU? To place a biocidal product or a biocidal product family (BPF) on the market in the EU, companies must prepare and submit a comprehensive dossier according to the criteria set by the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR). These dossiers typically include data on physicochemical properties, efficacy, (eco-)toxicological hazard profiles and risk assessments. The submission can be made through national schemes or via the EU central authorisation process (ie. BPR procedure), dependent on the EU status. With deep expertise and knowledge in the BPR framework, CEHTRA can assist in the entire process from dossier preparation, designing testing strategies, and managing the dossier until the successful authorization reached, allowing market access for biocidal products in EU and national markets. What is the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, EU 528/2012) and who needs to comply with it? The main goal of the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) is to ensure a high level of protection for humans, animals, and the environment, by harmonizing the process via an EU-procedure that allows improving the functioning of the market for biocidal products such as disinfectants, wood preservatives, pest control products, and antifouling products. To sell these products within EU, companies must meet strict BPR requirements. Approval of active substances used in the products and biocidal product authorisations are mandatory before going to the market. The complexity of EU requirements for biocidal products, including active substances used in these products, requires a dedicated understanding of the Regulation (EU) 528/2012. At CEHTRA, our experienced regulatory team is able to guide you in selecting the right steps towards full BPR compliance. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer?

Find it here. What is an endocrine disruptor (ED)? An Endocrine Disruptor (ED) is a substance or a mixture that alters one or more functions of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse effects in an intact organism, its progeny, populations or subpopulations. Why is ED assessment required under EU regulations? Since 2018, ED assessment has been mandatory under the Plant Protection Products Regulation and Biocidal Products Regulation. In 2023, new hazard classes for endocrine disruptors were added to CLP Regulation. Updates to REACH Regulation, cosmetic and pharmaceutical legislations are expected to extend these requirements further — making ED evaluation essential for market access and compliance in the EU. Is there an official list of endocrine disruptors in the EU? There is currently no single, definitive EU list of all endocrine disruptors. However, several regulatory lists and databases identify or flag substances with suspected or proven ED properties: The ED assessment list published by European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) The list of approved and non-approved active substances under Plant Protection Products Regulation and Biocidal Products Regulation The Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) under REACH Regulation In France, the Annex I of AGEC law lists substances identified as potential ED These lists are updated regularly, and companies should monitor them closely to anticipate regulatory impacts on their substances or products. CEHTRA has designed a digital tool to detect the presence of substances in those and many other lists of suspected or proven ED. Such data must be interpreted with caution and reviewed by an expert that CEHTRA can provide. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer? Submit a request

Expert guidance from CEHTRA Access CEHTRA expert advice to interpret results and draw reliable conclusions when needed. Need help? Here are the answers to your questions. What is an Endocrine Disruptor? In the European Union, an endocrine disruptor is defined as a substance that interferes with the hormonal system, potentially causing adverse effects on humans and wildlife. These substances can be synthetic or natural and can affect reproduction, growth and development. In Europe, endocrine disruptors are assessed through various regulations, including those relating to pesticides and biocides and they can be classified according to CLP. EFSA and ECHA have published a guidance and OECD has edited a guideline to help identify these substances. The criteria for identifying a substance as an endocrine disruptor are as follows: Endocrine activity: the substance must have endocrine activity. Adverse health effect: it must produce an adverse health effect. Plausible biological link: there must be a plausible biological link between the endocrine activity and the adverse effect. How to identify Endocrine Disruptors by CAS Number with ED Pedia ED Pedia searches for CAS Numbers in lists from hazard assessment programs that identify potential Endocrine Disruptors, with different levels of concern. For a specific CAS Number, ED Pedia reports for each of the lists whether or not the substance is included. Results, especially those describing the outcome of ED evaluation other than by the relevant authorities should be taken with care, as CEHTRA – though delivering its best efforts - is not responsible and shall not be held liable for the content of the lists. How can I check if a substance is an Endocrine Disruptor? The easiest way to check if a substance may have endocrine-disrupting (ED) properties is by searching its CAS number in official regulatory lists. ED Pedia allows you to instantly screen substances against hazard assessment programs, download a PDF report, and access expert guidance to interpret the results. This helps stakeholders save time, ensure compliance, and make reliable decisions. If you need help in the interpretation of the results given by the tool, don’t hesitate to contact our expert: Julien Leghait Contact Try ED Pedia

REACH Authorisation is mandatory for substances of very high concern (SVHC) included in Annex XIV of the REACH Regulation. Companies that manufacture, import, or use these substances must obtain authorisation to continue placing them on the EU market. CEHTRA helps you determine whether your substances are affected and provides strategic support to secure compliance and maintain market access. How do you prepare a successful REACH Authorisation dossier? A strong dossier requires several components: a Chemical Safety Report (CSR), an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and a Socio-Economic Analysis (SEA). These demonstrate both the safety of continued use and the socio-economic impact of substitution. CEHTRA’s multidisciplinary experts prepare and defend these dossiers, ensuring that your application meets ECHA’s requirements and stands up to committee review. What are the risks of missing REACH Authorisation deadlines? Failure to submit an authorisation application by the regulatory deadline means that the substance can no longer be legally placed on the EU market. This can disrupt supply chains and impact business continuity. CEHTRA supports companies in anticipating obligations, preparing dossiers on time, and defending their applications to avoid costly interruptions. Explore additional resources Can’t find your answer?

Therefore please make sure that your current UK products are authorised under the new rules. According to CRD, the new laws to ensure the safe use of plant protection products will be similar to existing laws including compliance with regulations for Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). Current product authorisations and MRLs will still be valid in the Great Britain from 1 January 2021. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will continue to operate as the UK’s regulator.

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.

CEHTRA will continue to support its clients for their UK products. Cosmetic products Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) establishes independent regulatory rules for cosmetic products placed on the British market from January 1, 2021. The regulation remains very close to the Cosmetic Regulations (with a PIF, a safety report, a notification). The Responsible Person must be in Great Britain. By default, the importer is this RP. It is recommended to identify a RP who will be able to assume all the responsibilities for the safety of the product. A notification will also have to be made on the UK portal. These steps are valid for new products as well as for existing products entering Great Britain. CEHTRA can assist cosmetics manufacturers in these procedures.

Assess your compliance level in a few clicks (substances subject to authorisation within the regulation (EC) N°1907/2006 called REACH regulation) start your assessment Where can I find the list of substances subject to authorisation? The objective of the authorisation procedure is to ensure that substances of very high concern (SVHC) are progressively replaced by other less hazardous substances or technologies when suitable economically and technically viable alternatives exist. Where can I find the list of substances subject to authorisation? The substances concerned and subject to authorisation are listed in Annex XIV of the REACH regulation. Please note that this information is available in section 15 of the safety data sheet. The particular case of Ch rome VI Chrome VI is a special case because its use is currently covered, for downstream users (DU), by the holders of the authorisation dossier (list of holders in point 4 of the questionnaire). It is an "upstream" dossier whose registrants have joined together in a consortium: the CETAC sub. Today, this concerns only Chrome VI. What are the obligations related to the handling of a substance subject to authorisation covered by a Third Party (upstream in the supply chain)? When you purchase and handle a substance subject to an "upstream" authorisation dossier, you face several obligations, including: Ensuring that your use of the substance is covered by your supplier Compliance with the conditions of an authorisation granted to an upstream actor in its supply chain (conditions described in the Exposure Scenario attached to the eSDS) Your notification of use to the ECHA (European Chemical Agency) within 3 months after the first delivery What are the consequences of non-compliance? Penal and administrative sanctions (non-exhaustive list) Following a formal notice: Order the payment of a fine of up to €15,000 and a daily penalty of €1,500 Order the cessation of the activities concerned Order a ban on the import, manufacture or placing on the market or a withdrawal from the market of substances, mixtures, articles, products or equipment.
