COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/1950

of 14 October 2022

renewing the approval of creosote as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 8 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(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 14(4), point (a), thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The active substance creosote was included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) for use in biocidal products of product-type 8 and pursuant to Article 86 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is therefore considered approved under that Regulation subject to the conditions set out in Annex I to that Directive. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The active substance creosote was included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) for use in biocidal products of product-type 8 and pursuant to Article 86 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is therefore considered approved under that Regulation subject to the conditions set out in Annex I to that Directive.

| (2) | On 27 October 2016, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for the renewal of the approval of creosote for use in biocidal products of product-type 8. That application was evaluated by the competent authority of the United Kingdom as the evaluating competent authority. |

(2)

On 27 October 2016, an application was submitted in accordance with Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for the renewal of the approval of creosote for use in biocidal products of product-type 8. That application was evaluated by the competent authority of the United Kingdom as the evaluating competent authority.

| (3) | On 16 September 2019, the evaluating competent authority submitted a recommendation on the renewal of the approval of creosote to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’). Due to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, the competent authority of Poland has taken over the role of evaluating competent authority regarding the application on 30 January 2020. |

On 16 September 2019, the evaluating competent authority submitted a recommendation on the renewal of the approval of creosote to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’). Due to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, the competent authority of Poland has taken over the role of evaluating competent authority regarding the application on 30 January 2020.

| (4) | In accordance with Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, on 4 December 2020 the Agency adopted an opinion (3) formulated by its Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority. |

(4)

In accordance with Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, on 4 December 2020 the Agency adopted an opinion (3) formulated by its Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

| (5) | According to that opinion, creosote is classified as carcinogen category 1B in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and meets the criteria for being a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) substance and a very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substance in accordance with Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Creosote therefore meets the exclusion criteria set out in Article 5(1), points (a) and (e), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

According to that opinion, creosote is classified as carcinogen category 1B in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and meets the criteria for being a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) substance and a very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB) substance in accordance with Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Creosote therefore meets the exclusion criteria set out in Article 5(1), points (a) and (e), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

| (6) | Pursuant to Article 12(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the approval of active substances meeting the exclusion criteria may only be renewed if the active substance still meets at least one of the conditions set out in Article 5(2) of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

Pursuant to Article 12(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the approval of active substances meeting the exclusion criteria may only be renewed if the active substance still meets at least one of the conditions set out in Article 5(2) of that Regulation.

| (7) | The Commission, with the support of the Agency, carried out a public consultation in order to gather information as to whether the conditions set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 were satisfied. |
| --- | --- |

(7)

The Commission, with the support of the Agency, carried out a public consultation in order to gather information as to whether the conditions set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 were satisfied.

| (8) | The opinion of the Agency and the contributions to the public consultation were discussed with Member States in the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products. Member States were also requested to indicate whether they consider that at least one of the conditions set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 would be met in their respective territory, and to provide justifications. |

(9)

From the information collected and the views expressed by Member States, it appears that creosote and wood treated with creosote are still needed in many Member States for railway sleepers and for utility poles for electricity and telecommunications.

| (10) | Wood treated with products containing creosote is used to make wooden railway sleepers for various technical reasons (light weight compared to concrete sleepers and corresponding ease of maintenance, good resilience, high service life expectancy sought for railway infrastructures which are built to last several decades, sustainable material). Wooden railway sleepers have great flexibility in terms of where they can be used (such as inaccessible areas, switching points, tunnels, bridges, small radius curves). Moreover, the railway sleeper use class is a safety-critical application which may be subject to rail infrastructure type approval or certification requirements for reasons related to the safety of people (passengers, train operators, etc.) and railway equipment, namely trains and infrastructures. Good operation of train infrastructures is essential for the proper functioning of society and economic activities. Alternative biocidal products to treat wooden railway sleepers are under development and one product containing a mixture of copper hydroxide, DDA Carbonate and penflufen has recently been authorised in several Member States. However, time is needed to test and have a sufficient return on experience of those alternative products, and to ensure that they can meet the long service life expected of railway sleepers. |

| (11) | Alternative materials to wood for railway sleepers exist, including concrete, steel or composite materials such as fibre-reinforced foamed urethane, each presenting advantages (for example, similar mechanical properties and durability to creosote-treated wood railway sleepers) and disadvantages (for example, issues of maintenance of certain tracks in inaccessible areas, switching points, tunnels, secondary lines; cost; higher negative environmental footprint than wood; difficulty in track maintenance to mix wooden sleepers with sleepers made from other materials due to the different ballast requirements). A non-renewal of approval of creosote as an active substance for use in biocidal products for the treatment of wood to make railway sleepers would create serious technical and economic impacts on railway infrastructure operators in some Member States where substitution would be technically or economically difficult for the moment. |

Some other biocidal products, based on copper compounds or quaternary ammonium compounds as active substances, have reached the final stage of authorisation procedure. However, time is needed to test and have a sufficient return on experience of those alternative products. |

| (13) | Alternatives to wood as a material for utility poles exist, including steel, concrete, fibreglass, composite materials or composite barrier sleeves installed around treated wooden utility poles. Each of these alternatives presents advantages (for example, rigidity; invariant physical characteristics; fire retardancy) and disadvantages (for example, the need for further testing; possible shorter service life or other technical concerns; more expensive when compared to wooden poles). Another alternative is the laying of transmission cables underground, in particular in urban and city environments, although this option may become more technically challenging depending on the natural terrain across which the network must traverse (for example, remote areas or mountains), and an installation and maintenance may appear more complex, costly and not feasible in all circumstances. A non-renewal of approval of creosote for use in wooden poles might create an economic impact on electricity and telecommunication infrastructure operators, and problems for the maintenance of certain transmission cables (for example, areas not easily accessible, rapid response in case of serious storms) in some Member States where substitution with other materials or underground transmission cables would be technically or economically difficult for the moment. |

| (14) | The Agency identified risks for human health arising from the use of biocidal products containing creosote for the treatment of railway sleepers and utility poles for the workers responsible for the treatment of wood, for the pole installers and the electricity pole installers, and for the exposure of the general public. Risk mitigation measures should be implemented to limit the exposure to creosote as far as possible, for example the recourse to mechanical or automated processes to avoid manual handling of treated wood, and the wearing of personal protective equipment by workers, and ensuring that treated wood is not accessible to the general public during storage. Risks for the environment have also been identified as creosote is PBT/vPvB, and risk mitigation measures should be implemented to limit the exposure of the environment to creosote as far as possible, for example providing that industrial application is to be conducted within a contained area or on impermeable hard standing with bunding; that freshly treated timber is to be stored after treatment under shelter or on impermeable hard standing, or both, to prevent direct losses to soil, sewer or water; and that any losses from the application of the product are to be collected for reuse or disposal. |

| (15) | On the basis of the information collected, it is concluded that the non-approval of creosote as an active substance for use in biocidal products would have a disproportionate negative impact on society in comparison to the risks arising from the use of the substance for the treatment of wood used to make railway sleepers and utility poles for electricity and telecommunications. The condition set out in Article 5(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is thus satisfied for those uses. |

| (18) | To keep exposure to humans and the environment to a minimum, biocidal products should only be authorised for the treatment by vacuum pressure impregnation of wood in industrial installations to make railway sleepers, or utility poles for electricity or telecommunications. Pursuant to point 10 of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the product assessment should include an evaluation as to whether the conditions of Article 5(2) of that Regulation are satisfied. It should be provided that products may only be authorised for use in Member States where the condition set out in Article 5(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 is satisfied. |

In particular, as regards the condition set out in Article 5(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, it has not been demonstrated that the non-renewal of creosote as an active substance for use in biocidal products for such uses will have a disproportionate negative impact on society compared to the risks of using creosote and wood treated with creosote. Suitable and sufficient alternatives exist and are already implemented in almost all Member States, and can be implemented in the entire Union. In order to allow sufficient time for economic operators to adapt to the requirements set down in this Implementing Regulation, a period of transition should be set after which that wood treated with biocidal products containing creosote is no longer placed on the market other than as railway sleepers and utility poles for electricity and telecommunications. The same period should apply to the placing on the market of railway sleepers and utility poles for electricity and telecommunications treated with creosote in Member States not included in the lists for the concerned uses. |
