What is BPR ?

Biocidal Product Regulation; EU BPR 528/2012

The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) concerns the placing on the market and use of biocidal products, which are used to protect humans, animals, materials or articles against harmful organisms like pests or bacteria, by the action of the active substances contained in the biocidal product. This regulation aims to improve the functioning of the biocidal products market in the EU, while ensuring a high level of protection for humans and the environment.

Within BPR (528/2012), there are 22 product modes, consisted of 4 main groups: disinfectants, preservatives, pest control and other biocidal products.

The text was adopted on 22 May 2012 and applicable from 1 September 2013, with a transitional period for certain provisions. It will repeal the Biocidal Products Directive (Directive 98/8/EC).

All biocidal products require an authorisation before they can be placed on the market, and the active substances contained in that biocidal product must be previously approved.  Products containing new active substances that are still under assessment may also be allowed on the market where a provisional authorisation is granted.
