the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level ri sk assessment of the active 
substance. 
Authorisations are subject to the following conditions: 
(1) For industrial or professional users, safe 
operational procedures and appropriate 
organizational measures shall be established. Where exposure cannot be reduced to an 
acceptable level by other means, products shall 
be used with appropriate personal protective 
equipment. 
(2) Appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be 
taken to protect the soil and aquatic 
compartments. In particular: labels and, where 
                                                            
1 The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in a ccordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 
No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market  can be of equal or different  purity if it has been proven  technically equivalent with the evaluated 
active substance. 
2 For the implementation of the common principles of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the content and conclusions of ass essment reports are available on the 
Commission website: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/biocides/index_en.htm .

provided, safety data sheets of products 
authorised shall indicate that industrial 
application shall be conducted within a 
contained area or on impermeable hard standing 
with bunding, that freshly treated timber shall be 
stored after treatment under shelter or on 
impermeable hardstanding, or both, to prevent 
direct losses to soil or water, and that any losses 
from the application of the product shall be collected for reuse or disposal. 
(3) Products shall not be authorised for wood that 
will be exposed to frequent weathering unless 
data is submitted to demonstrate that the 
product will meet the requirements of Article 19 
and Annex VI of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, if 
necessary by the application of appropriate risk 
mitigation measures. 
(4) Products shall not be authorized for treatment of 
outdoor constructions near or above water or for 
the treatment of wood that will be used for outdoor constructions near or above water, 
unless data are submitted to demonstrate that 
the product will not present unacceptable risks, if 
necessary by the application of appropriate 
mitigation measures.

intentionally incorporates permethrin, and where 
necessary due to the possibility of skin contact as well as 
the release of permethrin under normal conditions of use,
