            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1425
of 8 October 2020
         
granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘PeridoxRTU Product Family’
         
(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 the first subparagraph of Article 44(5) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


On 26 September 2017, Contec Europe submitted an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘PeridoxRTU Product Family’ of product-type 2, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of Belgium had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-HT057172-25 in the Register for Biocidal Products.












(2)


‘PeridoxRTU Product Family’ contains peracetic acid, as the 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.












(3)


On 27 August 2019, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’).












(4)


On 7 April 2020, the Agency submitted to the Commission an opinion (2), including the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘PeridoxRTU Product Family’ and the final assessment report on the biocidal product family in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.












(5)


The opinion concludes that ‘PeridoxRTU Product Family’ is a ‘biocidal product family’ within the meaning of Article 3(1)(s) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of that Regulation.












(6)


On 27 April 2020, 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.












(7)


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












(8)


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
A Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0023658-0000 is granted to Contec Europe for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘PeridoxRTU Product Family’ in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.
The Union authorisation is valid from 29 October 2020 until 30 September 2030.

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).
A ventilation rate of at least 20/hr is mandatory when handling the product.
The product must only be applied for disinfection of small surfaces.
4.1.3.   Where specific to the use, the particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie or belt. When breathing is difficult, properly trained personnel may assist affected person by administering oxygen. Get medical attention. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position and ensure breathing can take place.
Skin contact: It is important to remove the substance from the skin immediately. Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention. Chemical burns must be treated by a physician.
Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not rub eye. Remove any contact lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Continue to rinse for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give a few small glasses of water or milk to drink. Stop if the affected person feels sick as vomiting may be dangerous. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Place unconscious person on their side in the recovery position and ensure breathing can take place. Keep affected person under observation. Get medical attention if symptoms are severe or persist.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat symptomatically.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. Spills or discharge to natural waterways is likely to kill aquatic organisms.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures in case of accidental release measures: Evacuate area.
Keep upwind of spill. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Only trained and properly protected personnel may be involved in clean-up operations. Use appropriate safety equipment.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Avoid making contact with spilled material. When cleaning up a spill always wear the appropriate protective equipment, including respiratory protection, gloves and protective clothing. A self-contained breathing apparatus or respirator and absorbents may be necessary, depending on the size of the spill and the adequacy of ventilation.
Small spills: Wear the correct protective equipment and cover the liquid with absorbent material. Collect and seal the material and the dirt that has absorbed the spilled material in polyethylene bags and place in a drum for transit to an approved disposal site. Rinse away the remaining spilled material with water to reduce odour and discharge the rinsate into a municipal or industrial sewer, not into a natural waterway.
Large spills: In case of nasal and respiratory irritation, vacate the room immediately. Personnel cleaning up should be trained and equipped with a self-contained breathing apparatus, or an officially approved or certified full-face respirator equipped with an organic vapour cartridge, gloves, and clothing impervious, including rubber boots or shoe protection.
4.1.4.   Where specific to the use, the instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

This biocidal product, when being disposed of in its unused and uncontaminated state should be treated as a hazardous waste according to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3). Any disposal practices must be in compliance with all national and provincial laws and any municipal or local by-laws governing hazardous waste.
Do not dump into any sewers, on the ground, or into any body of water. Avoid release to the environment.
High-temperature incineration is an acceptable practice.
Containers are non-refillable. Do not reuse or refill the containers. Containers should be triple or pressure rinsed with water promptly after they are emptied. They can then be offered for recycling or reconditioning for biocidal products, or they can be punctured and disposed of in a sanitary landfill or by other procedures approved by national and local authorities. Send waste liquid from rinsing of used containers to an approved waste handling facility.
4.1.5.   Where specific to the use, the conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Store in a cool, well ventilated area.
Keep this product in the original container tightly closed.
Container must be stored and transported in an upright position to prevent spilling the contents.
Keep away from direct sunlight.
Do not freeze.
Store below 30 °C.
The shelf-life is 12 months (unopened).
