Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2024 of 10 September 2026 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2750 as regards administrative and minor changes to the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family

In the case of larger amounts of product in the packaging, discuss with the supplier of the product. The recipient of contaminated empty containers must be informed of the possible risks due to product residues. In the case of disposal within the EU, use the respective valid waste code in accordance with the European Waste Catalogue (EWC). The producer of the waste is responsible for assigning sector- and process-specific waste codes to his waste in accordance with the European Waste Catalogue.

5.5.   Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Shelf-life: 24 months.

Store in tightly sealed original containers. Protect from frost.

6. OTHER INFORMATION

With respect to the “Category (ies) of users” note: “Professionals (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.”

Resistance management for intended applications (PT 11, 12, 13):

• — avoidance of under-dosing;

• — frequent detection of efficacy and of biocide content in the industrial systems to assure maintenance of correct CMIT/MIT concentration;

• — for new applications, preliminary tests to determine the suitability, compatibility and optimal application concentration are strongly recommended;

• — under difficult conditions alternation of active ingredients, i.e. rotation with other biocides, also combination with other products may be useful.

During the shutdown of production, it is recommended to counteract microbiological growth inside the membrane elements. Before the shutdown, the plant shall be cleaned first, to remove all sorts of deposits like carbonates, salts, silica, organic matter or biomass. For this purpose, specialized membrane cleaners are used. After cleaning, the plant is flushed with permeate quality water until neutral pH is achieved. Only after these cleaning steps, CMIT/MIT containing water is reaching the plant and is regularly circulated by slow pumping. The biocidal product shall be added to the fill-water (permeate quality), to avoid microbiological growth during longer shut downs. During longer shut downs, the fill-water shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping and sampled to check for a microbiological re-contamination. A shift in pH can be a first indication of a re-contamination by microbiology. In this case the fill-up solution must be replaced.

With respect to the “Category (ies) of users” note: “Professionals (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.”

Resistance management for intended applications (PT 11, 12, 13):

• — avoidance of under-dosing;

• — frequent detection of efficacy and of biocide content in the industrial systems to assure maintenance of correct CMIT/MIT concentration;

• — for new applications, preliminary tests to determine the suitability, compatibility and optimal application concentration are strongly recommended;

• — under difficult conditions alternation of active ingredients, i.e. rotation with other biocides, also combination with other products may be useful.
