Is the information required for a ‘new’ active substance the same as that for an existing active substance which is being supported in the biocides review programme?
Yes, the information required for a new active substance and an existing active substance in the biocides review programme is essentially the same. The data requirements are outlined in Annexes II and III of the BPD. When applying for a ‘new’ active substance then you can choose when and to which Member State you submit your application. In the biocides review programme existing active substances are assigned to a Member State with set deadlines for dossier submission and evaluation.
