The BPR requires the evaluation of active substances contained in biocidal products, as well as the evaluation of the products themselves before they can be placed on the EU market.

Member States of the EU are responsible for evaluating the active substances and biocidal products and submitting their assessment reports to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). The ECHA then reviews the assessments and makes recommendations to the European Commission for approval or rejection of the active substances or products.

Each Member State has a designated Competent Authority (CA) responsible for evaluating biocidal products within their territory and preparing the necessary assessment reports. The submission plans for these reports may vary between Member States and depend on several factors, including the resources available to the CA and the number of products that need to be assessed.

‘Member State Competent Authority (MSCA) Assessment Reports submission plan’ has a summary of the scheduled ‘submission dates’ for active substance approvals/renewals from the eCA to the ECHA Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) of the Agency and same is provided in the table. This is an indicative estimate that may change.
