Orientamento sulla normativa relativa ai biocidi

L'elenco sotto riportato contiene tutti i documenti d'orientamento che sono o saranno disponibili su questo sito web. Tali documenti sono stati elaborati con la partecipazione di Stati membri, industria e parti interessate accreditate. L'obiettivo dei documenti è agevolare l'attuazione del regolamento relativo ai biocidi (BPR) descrivendo le buone pratiche su come soddisfare gli obblighi.

Oltre all'orientamento sul BPR, l'orientamento sulla direttiva relativa ai biocidi (BPD) e altri documenti correlati sono considerati applicabili per le nuove presentazioni a norma del BPR nei settori per i quali l'orientamento sul BPR è ancora in fase di preparazione. Inoltre questi documenti sono ancora validi in relazione alle domande per l'iscrizione dei principi attivi nell'allegato I o alle domande di autorizzazione di un prodotto a norma del BPD che possono essere ancora in corso di valutazione.
