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 44(5), first subparagraph, thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) On 29 September 2017, Tevan B.V submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for Union authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘Tevan Panox Family’ of product-types 2, 3 and 4 as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of the Netherlands had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-SB034343-54 in the Register for Biocidal Products.
- (2) ‘Tevan Panox Family’ contains peracetic acid as the active substance, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product-types 2, 3 and 4.
- (3) On 15 November 2023, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the Agency.
- (4) On 26 June 2024, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion 2, the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Tevan Panox Family’ and the final assessment report on the biocidal product family, in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
- (5) The opinion concludes that ‘Tevan Panox Family’ is a biocidal product family within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (s), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that, subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(6) of that Regulation.
- (6) On 19 July 2024, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
- (7) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Tevan Panox Family’.
- (8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
A Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0032875-0000 is granted to Tevan B.V. for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘Tevan Panox Family’ in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.
The Union authorisation is valid from 20 July 2025 until 30 June 2035.
