Draft Commission Implementing Decision not approving carbon dioxide as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 19 (3 page(s), in English)

Description
This draft Commission Implementing Decision does not approve carbon dioxide as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 19. As this active substance is no longer supported in the review programme, a non-approval decision should be adopted in accordance with point (b) of the first paragraph of Article 20 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014. Carbon dioxide is already listed into category 6 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. This means that biocidal products of product-type 19 and containing carbon dioxide may be made available on the market and used provided that they are authorised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and comply with the conditions and specifications set in Annex I for carbon dioxide. In particular, existing biocidal products of product-type 19 and containing carbon dioxide may continue to made available on the market and used provided that they are authorised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and comply with the conditions and specifications set in Annex I for carbon dioxide before the dates set in the second subparagraph of Article 89(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
