The Biocidal Products Directive (BPD), which is implemented into UK law through the Biocidal Products Regulations (BPR), requires that biocidal products containing active substances listed in Annex I/IA of that directive for the uses specified (i.e. Product Types, PTs) be authorised or registered.
Several active substances in various product types have been reviewed and are to be included in Annex I. The consequence of this is that products containing these substances will, in the relatively near future, come under the scope of BPD and will require authorisation to be placed on the market in the EU.
