Warning: possible exclusion of Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids as active substances in biocidal products
Under the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) Pyrethrins or Pyrethroids as active substances in biocidal products have been redefined as ‘Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents’. The Article 95 list has been amended accordingly.
Therefore, Pyrethrins and Pyrethroids are not currently supported by an active substance dossier, and will only remain in the Review Programme if the open invitation to take on the role of participant for that substance, published on ECHA’s website and valid until 9 November 2018, is met by an interested party.
