This presentation Overview of the Legal frame Dossier preparation and submission Evaluation of dossiers Discussions at TM and CA levels Next step: Authorisation of products Web pages
Overview of the Legal frame The relevant directive is Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market. The Directive regulates the placing of Biocidal products on the market in a two step procedure. The first step is evaluation of the active substances at EU level (Annex I entry) and the second step is product authorisation at member state level.
Legal frame - Definitions A biocidal product is defined as (art. 2(1)(a)): (a) Biocidal products Active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances, put up in the form in which they are supplied to the user, intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, prevent the action of, or otherwise exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means. An exhaustive list of 23 product types with an indicative set of descriptions within each type is given in Annex V.
Legal frame - definitions The substance definition is the same as in Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended by 92/32/EEC. Substances are divided into new and existing active substances, defined by the date of implementation (14 May 2000). New substances have to be evaluated before they can be placed on the market. Existing substances go through a review programme and can stay on the market.
Legal frame – data requirements An Annex I entry is based on data. Requirements are given in the annexes of 98/8/EC and address both the substance and a product. Requirements are the same for new and existing substances. Chemicals Annexes IIA and IIB Annexes IIIA and IIIB Details in TNsG on Data Requirements Micro-organisms incl. viruses and fungi Directive 50/2006/EC amending Annexes IVA & IVB
Legal frame – review of Existing substances Following the adoption of this Directive, the Commission shall commence a 10-year programme of work for the systematic examination of all active substances already on the market on (14 th May 2000, existing active substances) …. A Regulation … will provide for all provisions necessary for the establishment and implementation of the programme including the setting of priorities for the evaluation …and a timetable. Article 16 (2) of Directive 98/8/EC The 10 years review programme
Legal frame – Review Regulations Implementation of Art. 16 (2) of the BPD: 1.First Review Regulation ( 1896/2000 of 7 September 2000 ) - Identification of existing active substances - Notification (supported by basic information) - Selection of two Product Types, PT 08 and 14 1a. Regulation EC No 1687/2002 of 25 th September 2002 on an additional notification period for certain active substances 2. Second Review Regulation (2032/2003 of 4 Nov. 2003) - Allocation of Rapporteurs for 1 st and 2 nd list

Evaluation: Which discussion will come up? PT 14 Rodenticides ANTICOAGULANTS Early discussion on the long term tests (CMR studies) Avian toxicity testing Substance identity (corn cob) Classification and Labelling ALL Compatibility with PPP dossiers
Evaluation: Which discussions will come up? PT 08 Wood preservatives Current ESD conservative => overestimate emission Leaching testing Assessment of Metal ions, already a discussion item for other chemicals’ programmes Passing the biodegradation criteria Substance identity (quats) Read across between substances Compatibility with PPP dossiers
Evaluation - Methodology The methodology for the evaluation is described in the Technical Notes for Guidance (TNsGs) and the TGD on Risk Assessment (including Emission Scenario Documents) There are some gaps and by applying the TNsGs changes have been suggested / agreed.
Evaluation – Methodology developments There are difficult areas: e.g. chemical identity, pheromones (guidance document), natural substances (guidance document), read across of data, leaching rates for PT08 (workshop) and 21 Methodology is translated from other areas: Existing Substances Regulation and Plant Protection Products Some remaining difficult issues: e.g. efficacy testing, metabolites
Evaluation - Statistics Experience from the first list was that most RMS took 6 months to check completeness. Most dossiers took more than 12 months to evaluate: in Aug. 2006: –9 (of 13) reports from RMS under PT 14 –16 (of 40) reports from RMS for PT08 “stop the clock” –Unclear chemical identity –Data gaps
Evaluation Peer review by the other member states Peer review by the other member states: –Documents level I, II and III are circulated –90 day commenting period for OMS, applicant and other interested parties (only public report). Comments should be submitted in writing. –The Rapporteur prepares a response-to- comments table, indicating (dis)agreement with the comments and actions. –Information is circulated via CIRCA
Discussions at TM and CA levels Peer review by the other member states Outstanding issues from the response-to- comments are discussed at a technical meeting. The technical meetings are prepared, chaired and followed-up by the ECB All member states and the applicants are invited to the TMs
Discussions at TM and CA levels Peer review by the other member states Provides consistency Provides common solutions Provides a forum for discussion Several meetings may be needed
Discussions at TM and CA levels C&L The Classification and labelling is performed in the TC C&L (Technical Committee for classification and labelling).
Discussions at TM and CA levels TM reports to the Competent Authorities meeting and the minutes of the TMs are distributed. Update of the Competent Authority Report reflecting outcome of discussions presented for the CAs. The entry of a substance onto Annex I is done via a voting committee. The legal text is a directive.
Annex I inclusion So is it possible at all? –Large dossier / extensive requirements –Methodology well described, but gaps are still found –25 MS plus applicant plus EEA (NO, ICE, CH) to discuss and reach a decision
Annex I inclusion Discussion on Sulfuryl fluoride was finished at TMI06, and voted onto Annex I at the 22 nd CA meeting (Sep. 2006) The next substances were up for final discussion at TM III 06, and Annex I entry in 2007.
Annex I inclusion Annex I inclusion is for a maximum of 10 years (Art. 10 / BPD) Comparative assessment Art. 14 / BPD New information The work under the BPD does not stop with Annex I inclusion.
Next step: Authorisation of products The BPD is a two-step Directive. The first step is Annex I inclusion under the responsibility of the Commission The second step is product authorisation under the responsibility of the Member States. Products can be authorised when they contain active substances listed in Annex I
Next step: Authorisation of products Product authorisation is based on the common principles in Annex VI Product authorisations will be mutually recognised according to Art. 4(1) of the BPD
