            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/999
of 23 May 2025
         
granting a Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Hydrocid 306’ 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 44(5), first subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


On 28 June 2017, Hydro-X submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013 (2) for Union authorisation of the same single biocidal product, as referred to in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named ‘Hydrocid 306’, of product-types 6, 11, 12 and 13, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The related reference product is the single biocidal product ‘No. 06-06: Preservative 06-06’ (Authorisation number EU-0031652-0026), which is a part of the related reference biocidal product family ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’. The application was recorded under case number BC-KK032827-30 in the Register for Biocidal Products. The related reference biocidal product family ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’ was authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2750 (3), with authorisation number EU-0031652-0000.












(2)


The single biocidal product ‘Hydrocid 306’ contains CMIT/MIT (3:1) as the active substance, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product-types 6, 11, 12 and 13.












(3)


On 19 July 2024, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (4) and the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Hydrocid 306’ in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013.












(4)


In its opinion, the Agency concludes that the proposed differences between the single biocidal product ‘Hydrocid 306’ and the related single biocidal product ‘No. 06-06: Preservative 06-06’, which is a part of the related reference biocidal product family ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’, are limited to information which can be subject to an administrative change in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (5), and that based on the assessment of the related reference biocidal product family ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’ and subject to compliance with the draft SPC, the same single biocidal product ‘Hydrocid 306’ meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.












(5)


On 13 December 2024, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised SPC of ‘Hydrocid 306’ in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.












(6)


The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the same single biocidal product ‘Hydrocid 306’.












(7)


The expiry date of the authorisation should be aligned with the expiry date of the authorisation of the related reference biocidal product family ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal 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-0032997-0000 is granted to Hydro-X for the making available on the market and use of the same single biocidal product ‘Hydrocid 306’ in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.
The Union authorisation is valid from 15 June 2025 until 31 October 2034.


Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

4.13.1.   Use-specific instructions

During the shutdown of production, it is recommended to counteract microbiological growth inside the membrane elements. Before the shutdown, the plant shall be cleaned first, to remove all sorts of deposits like carbonates, salts, silica, organic matter or biomass. For this purpose, specialized membrane cleaners are used. After cleaning, the plant is flushed with permeate quality water until neutral pH is achieved. Only after these cleaning steps, CMIT/MIT containing water is reaching the plant and is regularly circulated by slow pumping. The biocidal product shall be added to the fill-water (permeate quality), to avoid microbiological growth during longer shut downs. During longer shut downs, the fill-water shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping and sampled to check for a microbiological re-contamination. A shift in pH can be a first indication of a re-contamination by microbiology. In this case the fill-up solution shall be replaced.
The dose strongly depends on the formulation and intended use of the product to which the preservative is added. Therefore, the user shall determine dosage requirements for their specific matrix/system to be preserved. The lowest effective dose shall be used.
