This is the ECHA statement: “we would like to confirm that, on the basis of our understanding, the bottled “Active chlorine released from hypochlorous acid” must be obtained from a relevant party listed on the Article 95 list”.

Approval of insecticides, attractants, and repellents (April 2019)
The Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) intends to decide on approval or non-approval for the following active substances, which are under review for product types 18 and 19:

Are you manufacturer or distributor of an insecticide or repellent based on one of these active ingredients? Do you want to be sure that your product remains legally compliant in the EU market? After the decision on WS approval has been announced, you have about two years to market your product in the EU member states under the so-called transitional regulation, but the requirements of the countries differ greatly! Ask us about the regulations and possibilities in individual countries of the EEA and Switzerland. The transitional regulation may also be used during the period of dossier evaluation but only if an application for product approval is submitted before the date of approval! We can also advise you on strategies for cost-optimised authorisation of your biocidal product under the BPR. Contact us -we will work out the best options for your biocidal product.
