Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1287

of 24 September 2018

granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family Quat-Chem's iodine based products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products(1), and in particular Article 44(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 24 July 2015, Quatchem Ltd submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013(2) for authorisation of a same biocidal product family, as referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named Quat-chem's iodine based products (‘the same product family’) of product-type 3, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application for the same product family was recorded under the case number BC-YN018814-15 in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘the Register’). The application also indicated the application number of the related reference product family (Hypred's iodine based products), recorded in the Register under the case number BC-LC018584-49.

(2) The same product family contains iodine, as active substance, which is included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Taking into account the intrinsic properties of the active substance, once the scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine-disrupting properties set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2100(3) will become applicable, the Commission will consider the need to review of the approval of iodine, including polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine, in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Depending on the outcome of that review, the Commission will then consider whether the Union authorisations for biocidal products containing the active substance have to be reviewed in accordance with Article 48 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3) On 26 January 2018, the Agency submitted to the Commission an opinion(4), including the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (hereinafter ‘SPC’), in accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) No 414/2013. The opinion concluded that the same product family falls within the definition of ‘biocidal product family’ laid down in Article 3(1)(s) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that the proposed differences between the same product family and the related reference biocidal product family are limited to information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013(5), and that based on the assessment of the abovementioned related reference product family and subject to compliance with the draft SPC, the same product family meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(4) On 13 March 2018, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(5) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the same product family, and to record the SPC in the Register in accordance with Article 71(6) of that Regulation.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 U.K.

A Union authorisation is granted to Quatchem Ltd for the same biocidal product family Quat-chem's iodine based products with authorisation number EU-0018496-0000.

The Union authorisation is subject to compliance with the SPC set out in the Annex.

Article 2 U.K.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 24 September 2018.
