cancelling the Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk CL 90-Q’ in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1482
(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 49 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


On 29 May 2024, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1482 (2) granted a Union authorisation with the authorisation number EU-0029369-0000 to the authorisation holder Nordkalk AS for the making available on the market and use of the same single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk CL 90-Q’ in accordance with Article 44(5), first subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.












(2)


On 15 May 2025, Nordkalk AS submitted a request to cancel that Union authorisation to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 49 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The request was recorded under case number BC-MB105899-37 in the Register for Biocidal Products.












(3)


On 28 May 2025, Nordkalk AS submitted a reasoning for the request for cancellation, providing that it had decided to discontinue the production of ‘Nordkalk CL 90-Q’ based on commercial considerations.












(4)


On 3 June 2025, the Agency forwarded the reasoned request to the Commission.












(5)


It is therefore appropriate to cancel the Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk CL 90-Q’ at the reasoned request of the authorisation holder and consequently to repeal Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1482.












(6)


It is also appropriate to grant a period of grace for the making available on the market and the use of the existing stocks in accordance with Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk CL 90-Q’ granted by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1482 to Nordkalk AS with the authorisation number EU-0029369-0000 is cancelled.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1482 is repealed.
