Margosa extract, cold-pressed oil of Azadirachta indica seeds without shells extracted with super-critical carbon dioxide has been evaluated for use in products of product-type 19, repellents and attractants, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

Germany was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment report together with its recommendations on 3 December 2015.

In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 3 March 2017 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

According to that opinion, biocidal products of product-type 19 containing margosa extract, cold-pressed oil of Azadirachta indica seeds without shells extracted with super-critical carbon dioxide may be expected to satisfy the criteria of Article 19(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, provided that certain specifications and conditions concerning their use are complied with.

It is therefore appropriate to approve margosa extract, cold-pressed oil of Azadirachta indica seeds without shells extracted with super-critical carbon dioxide for use in biocidal products of product-type 19, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
