            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2026/1311
of 15 June 2026
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/807 as regards administrative and minor changes to the Union authorisation of the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde 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 28 April 2025, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/807 (2) granted a Union authorisation, under authorisation number EU-0032888-0000, to Solenis Switzerland GmbH for the making available on the market and use of the single biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’. The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the summary of product characteristics (‘SPC’) for that biocidal product.












(2)


On 3 September 2025, Solenis Switzerland GmbH submitted notification to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (3), of administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’, as referred to in Title 1 of the Annex to that Implementing Regulation. The notification was recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products under case numbers BC-HR109949-09. The notified proposed changes to that authorisation concern a change to the name and manufacturing site of the biocidal product manufacturer and the addition of manufacturing sites of the biocidal product.












(3)


On 29 October 2025, Solenis Switzerland GmbH submitted to the Agency an application, in accordance with Article 12(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, for minor changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’, as referred to in Title 2 of the Annex to that Implementing Regulation. The application was recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products under case number BC-HS111506-31. The proposed changes to that authorisation concern the extension of the pack size range for high-density polyethylene pail from 25 litres to 1, 5, 10, 20 and 25 litres.












(4)


On 26 November 2025, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an opinion (4) on the notified administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’, together with a revised SPC. In the opinion, the Agency concludes that the notified changes are administrative changes 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 changes, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.












(5)


On 11 February 2026, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 12(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an opinion (5) on the applied minor changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’ together with a revised SPC and a revised assessment report. The opinion concludes that the proposed changes are minor changes as referred to in Article 50(3), point (b), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified in Title 2 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that, after the implementation of the changes, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.












(6)


On 11 February 2026, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised summary of the product characteristics of the Union authorisation for the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’ in all official languages of the Union, covering the administrative and minor changes applied for, in accordance with Article 11(6) and Article 12(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.












(7)


The Commission concurs with the opinions of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation for the biocidal product ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’ to introduce the administrative and minor changes requested by Solenis Switzerland GmbH.












(8)


Except for the amendments regarding the administrative and minor changes, all other information included in the summary of product characteristics of ‘C(M)IT/MIT & Glutaraldehyde Formulations’ as set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/807 remains unchanged.












(9)


In order to enhance clarity and to ease the access of users and interested parties to the consolidated version of the summary of product characteristics which is to be published by the Agency, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/807 should be replaced in its entirety. Due to a change in the format used for the generation of the summary of product characteristics in the Register for Biocidal Products in February 2024, the summary of product characteristics in that Annex should also include some minor editorial and layout changes.












(10)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/807 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/807 is replaced by the text 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.
