What is the BPD ‘Transitional Period?
The BPD ‘Transitional Period’ is where existing biocidal active substances are in the process of transferring from EU Member States older, national legislation to regulation under the BPD. This is being carried out by the biocides review programme, where Notified biocidal active substances are being reviewed in groups according to their intended uses. During this transitional period, existing national legislation in Member States on the marketing of biocidal products will continue to apply until such a time as biocidal active substances are included, or a decision is taken to refuse inclusion, on Annex I of the BPD.
