The United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive may extend the permit for the making available on the market and use of hand disinfectants that follow the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended Formulation 2 until the end of the transition period referred to in the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community or until 30 March 2022, whichever is earlier.

For Northern Ireland, however, it may extend that permit until 30 March 2022.
