            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/1800
of 10 September 2025
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/753 as regards administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’
         
(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 50(2) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


On 12 April 2023, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/753 (2) granted a Union authorisation, under number EU-0025678-0000, to Solenis Switzerland GmbH for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’. The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the summary of product characteristics for that biocidal product family.












(2)


On 1 October 2024, Solenis Switzerland GmbH submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (3), a notification of administrative change to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’, recorded in the register for biocidal products under case number BC-TG100256-47. The notified proposed change concerns the addition of formulators of the biocidal product.












(3)


On 6 November 2024 (4), the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an opinion on the notified administrative change to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’. In the opinion, the Agency concludes that the proposed change is an administrative change as referred to in Article 50(3), point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified in Title 1, Section 2, of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that after the implementation of the change, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.












(4)


On 6 November 2024, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised summary of the biocidal product characteristics of the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’ in all official languages of the Union, covering the administrative change applied for, in accordance with Article 11(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.












(5)


The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’ to introduce the administrative change requested by Solenis Switzerland GmbH.












(6)


Except for the amendments regarding the administrative change, all other information included in the summary of the biocidal product characteristics of ‘C(M)IT/MIT formulations’ as set out in Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/753 remain unchanged.












(7)


In order to enhance clarity and to ease the access of users and interested parties to the consolidated version of the summary of the biocidal product characteristics which is to be published by the Agency, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/753 should be replaced in its entirety. Due to a change in the format used for the generation of the summary of biocidal product characteristics in the register for biocidal products in February 2024, the summary of biocidal product characteristics in that Annex should also include some minor editorial and layout changes.












(8)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/753 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/753 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.


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.
Done at Brussels, 10 September 2025.

Closed recirculating heating systems: pre-commission biocidal product flushing of new or existing pipework systems (heating and chilling pipework) includes used or new structural pipework built on industrial building projects. The biocidal product is used to control the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi and biofilm in the circulating water of closed systems. Closed systems are less susceptible to corrosion, scaling and biological fouling than open systems. However microbial problems can occur, if the system is left filled and untreated. This is due to the presence of nitrite and glycols used as nutrients by microbes.

5.1.   Instructions for use







—


The duration of the effect is dependent on the performance requirements of the customer for their preserved material and on the specific ingredients composition and pH of the preserved product.










—


Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.










—


Respect the conditions of use of the product (concentration, contact time, temperature, pH, etc.)




PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES DURING STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:
Keep in a well-ventilated place. The product as supplied may evolve gas (largely carbon dioxide) slowly. To prevent the buildup of pressure the product is packaged in specially vented containers, where necessary. Keep this product in the original container when not in use. Container must be stored and transported in an upright position to prevent spilling the contents through the vent, where fitted.

—


Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash contaminated skin with water. Contact poison treatment specialist if symptoms occur.










—


Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses if easy to do. Continue to rinse with tepid water for at least 30 minutes. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.










—


Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Contact poison treatment specialist. Seek medical advice immediately if symptoms occur and/or large quantities have been ingested. Do not give fluids or induce vomiting.










—


Inhalation (of spray mist): Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Seek medical advice immediately if symptoms occur and/or large quantities have been inhaled.










—


In case of impaired consciousness place in recovery position and seek medical advice immediately.










—


Keep the container or label available.




5.4.   Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging







—


Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (e.g. sink, toilets) nor down the drains.










—


Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.




5.5.   Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place, in the original container.
