ECHA’s Biocidal Products Committee (BPC) concluded that the assessment of the following active substances does not support their approval for product-type 4 (food and feed area):

(*) silver zinc zeolite;
(*) silver zeolite;
(*) silver copper zeolite; and
(*) silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate

For these existing active substances, the committee concluded that the risks are unacceptable for human health when activated carbon water filters with silver-containing active substances are used.

The evaluating competent authority for the applications is Sweden.
