NI Product Market Access
Article 17A
1
Subject to paragraphs 5-8, a biocidal product is to be treated as if it was authorised by the competent authority under Article 30 or, where relevant, Article 26, under the same terms and conditions as the product is authorised or permitted in Northern Ireland where—
a
each of the following conditions are met—
i
the biocidal product—
aa
is a qualifying Northern Ireland good, and
bb
has a Relevant NI Permission at that time;
ii
the authorisation holder or the person with a Relevant NI Permission (as the case may be) is established in Northern Ireland;
iii
all the active substances in the biocidal product are entered in—
aa
the list prepared pursuant to Article 8A (the GB List), or
bb
the list prepared pursuant to Article 24A (the Simplified Active Substance List);
iv
the person referred to in point (a)(ii) notifies the competent authority no later than 90 days in advance of making the biocidal product available on the market by submitting in full to the competent authority the information that the person submitted in their application under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 as it has effect in EU law to the evaluating competent authority, reference Member State or Northern Ireland competent authority (as the case may be), for the Relevant NI Permission together with a copy of any relevant NI authorisation or permit;
v
the competent authority takes no action pursuant to paragraph 2;
b
if the person referred to in point (a)(ii) intends to make any changes to the product, that person notifies the competent authority no later than 90 days in advance of the date on which such changes will apply, with the information submitted to the reference Member State pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 as it has effect in EU law, or for administrative changes other than those referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 6(2) of that Regulation, that person notifies the competent authority within 12 months of making the change;
c
if the person referred to in point (a)(ii) intends to renew the authorisation of the product in Northern Ireland, that person notifies the competent authority no later than 90 days in advance of the date of renewal by submitting in full the information that the person submitted to the reference Member State pursuant to Articles 31(1) or 45(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 as it has effect in EU law or, where relevant, Article 2 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 492/2014 as it has effect in EU law.

7
Where the additional information has not been submitted to the competent authority within 90 days of a request under paragraph 4(b), the notification made under paragraph 1 is to be treated as withdrawn.
8
Where the competent authority has amended the terms and conditions under which a biocidal product may be made available on the market under paragraph 3, that product must not be made available and used in Great Britain other than under those amended terms and conditions.
9
Where a biocidal product has been treated as authorised due to meeting the requirements of paragraph 1 but ceases to satisfy those requirements—
a
there is deemed to be a cancellation of the authorisation of that product by the competent authority, and
b
the period of grace provided for in Article 52 applies.

Conditions for granting an authorisation
Article 19
1
A biocidal product other than those eligible for the simplified authorisation procedure in accordance with Article 25 shall be authorised provided the following conditions are met:
a
the active substances are included in
the Simplified Active Substance List
or approved for the relevant product-type and any conditions specified for those active substances are met;
b
it is established, according to the common principles for the evaluation of dossiers for biocidal products laid down in Annex VI, that the biocidal product, when used as authorised and having regard to the factors referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, fulfils the following criteria:
1. the biocidal product is sufficiently effective;
2. the biocidal product has no unacceptable effects on the target organisms, in particular unacceptable resistance or cross-resistance or unnecessary suffering and pain for vertebrates;
3. the biocidal product has no immediate or delayed unacceptable effects itself, or as a result of its residues, on the health of humans, including that of vulnerable groups, or animals, directly or through drinking water, food, feed, air, or through other indirect effects;
4. the biocidal product has no unacceptable effects itself, or as a result of its residues, on the environment, having particular regard to the following considerations:
  - the fate and distribution of the biocidal product in the environment,
  - contamination of surface waters (including estuarial and seawater), groundwater and drinking water, air and soil, taking into account locations distant from its use following long-range environmental transportation,
  - the impact of the biocidal product on non-target organisms,
  - the impact of the biocidal product on biodiversity and the ecosystem;
c
the chemical identity, quantity and technical equivalence of active substances in the biocidal product and, where appropriate, any toxicologically or ecotoxicologically significant and relevant impurities and non-active substances, and its residues of toxicological or environmental significance, which result from uses to be authorised, can be determined according to the relevant requirements in Annexes II and III;
d
the physical and chemical properties of the biocidal product have been determined and deemed acceptable for the purposes of the appropriate use and transport of the product;
e
where appropriate, maximum residue limits for food and feed have been established with respect to active substances contained in a biocidal product in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93
, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council
, Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council
or Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
, or specific migration limits or limits for the residual content in food contact materials have been established with respect to such active substances in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council
;
f
where nanomaterials are used in that product, the risk to human health, animal health and the environment has been assessed separately.
2
The evaluation of whether a biocidal product fulfils the criteria set out in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall take into account the following factors:
a
realistic worst case conditions under which the biocidal product may be used;
b
the way in which treated articles treated with the biocidal product or containing the biocidal product may be used;
c
the consequences of use and disposal of the biocidal product;
d
cumulative effects;
e
synergistic effects.
3
A biocidal product shall only be authorised for uses for which relevant information has been submitted in accordance with Article 20.
4
A biocidal product shall not be authorised for making available on the market for use by the general public where:
a. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
b
it meets the criteria according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for classification as:
- acute oral toxicity category 1, 2 or 3,
- acute dermal toxicity category 1, 2 or 3,
- acute inhalation toxicity (gases and dust/mist) category 1, 2 or 3,
- acute inhalation toxicity (vapours) category 1 or 2,
- specific target organ toxicity by single or repeated exposure category 1,
- a category 1A or 1B carcinogen,
- a category 1A or 1B mutagen, or
- toxic for reproduction category 1A or 1B;
c
it consists of, contains or generates, a substance that meets the criteria for being PBT or vPvB in accordance with Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006;
d
it has endocrine-disrupting properties; or
e
it has developmental neurotoxic or immunotoxic effects.
5
Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 4, a biocidal product may be authorised when the conditions laid down in paragraph 1(b)(iii) and (iv) are not fully met, or may be authorised for making available on the market for use by the general public when the criteria referred to in paragraph 4(c) are met, where not authorising the biocidal product would result in disproportionate negative impacts for society when compared to the risks to human health, animal health or the environment arising from the use of the biocidal product under the conditions laid down in the authorisation.
The use of a biocidal product authorised pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to appropriate risk mitigation measures to ensure that exposure of humans and the environment to that biocidal product is minimised. ...
6
The assessment of the biocidal product family conducted according to the common principles set out in Annex VI shall consider the maximum risks to human health, animal health and the environment and the minimum level of efficacy over the whole potential range of products within the biocidal product family.
A biocidal product family shall be authorised only if:
a
the application explicitly identifies the maximum risks to human health, animal health and the environment, and the minimum level of efficacy, on which the assessment is based, as well as the permitted variations in composition and uses referred to in point (s) of Article 3(1) together with their respective classification, hazard and precautionary statements and any appropriate risk mitigation measures; and
b
it can be established based on the assessment referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph that all the biocidal products within the family comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1.
7
Where appropriate, the prospective authorisation holder or its representative shall apply for the establishment of maximum residue limits with respect to active substances contained in a biocidal product in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 315/93, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 or Directive 2002/32/EC, or for the establishment of specific migration limits or limits for the residual content in food contact materials with respect to such substances in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
8. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
9
Where a biocidal product is intended for direct application to the external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair system, nails, lips and external genital organs), or to the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, it shall not contain any non-active substance that may not be included in a cosmetic product pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
3
The
competent authority
, shall prohibit or restrict the making available on the market or the use of a biocidal product containing an active substance that is a candidate for substitution where a comparative assessment
...
demonstrates that both of the following criteria are met:
a
for the uses specified in the application, another authorised biocidal product or a non-chemical control or prevention method already exists which presents a significantly lower overall risk for human health, animal health and the environment, is sufficiently effective and presents no other significant economic or practical disadvantages;
b
the chemical diversity of the active substances is adequate to minimise the occurrence of resistance in the target harmful organism.
4
By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a biocidal product containing an active substance that is a candidate for substitution may be authorised for a period of up to four years without comparative assessment in exceptional cases where it is necessary to acquire experience first through using that product in practice.
