Glutaraldehyde IUPAC Name: 1,5-pentanedial EC No: 203-856-5 CAS No: 111-30-8 950 g/kg dry weight (95 %) 1 October 2016 30 September 2026 2 Glutaraldehyde is considered a candidate for substitution in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union-level risk assessment of the active substance. The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions. (1) For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means. (2) In view of the risks to professional users, products cannot be applied by wiping unless it can be demonstrated that risks can be reduced to an acceptable level. The placing on the market of treated articles is subject to the following condition. The person responsible for the placing on the market of a treated article treated with or incorporating glutaraldehyde shall ensure that the label of that treated article provides the information listed in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions. (1) For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means. (2) Application by fogging shall be restricted to trained professionals. (3) For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded. The placing on the market of treated articles is subject to the following condition. The person responsible for the placing on the market of a treated article treated with or incorporating glutaraldehyde shall ensure that the label of that treated article provides the information listed in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
