(7)

The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for ‘HYPO-CHLOR Product Family’.

| (8) | In its opinion, the Agency recommends that the authorisation holder conducts a long-term ambient storage stability test for products in meta-SPC 2A and 2B in the commercial packaging in which the products are to be made available on the market, as a condition in the authorisation. The test should address the relevant physical, chemical and technical properties of the products, both prior to and after storage, to confirm a shelf life of 24 months. The Commission agrees with that recommendation and considers that the submission of the results of that test should be a condition relating to the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘HYPO-CHLOR Product Family’ pursuant to Article 22(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The Commission also considers that the fact that data is to be provided after the authorisation has been granted does not affect the conclusion on the fulfilment of the condition under Article 19(1), point (d), of that Regulation based on the existing data. |
