Specialised consulting for BPR compliance
What does the Biocides Regulation (BPR) regulate?
The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) is a cornerstone of European legislation governing the production and marketing of products such as disinfectants, insecticides, and preservatives. These products, containing active substances, are essential for protecting human health, animal welfare, and the environment from harmful microorganisms and bacteria.
Implemented in 2013, the BPR unified disparate national legislations on biocides, creating a safer and more sustainable single European market.
Why is the BPR important?
- Health and Environmental Protection: Ensures that biocidal products are safe for humans and the environment, minimizing health and ecosystem risks.
- Innovation: Fosters the development of more effective and less harmful biocidal products, stimulating research and development of new technologies.
- Transparency: Guarantees a high level of transparency, providing clear and detailed information about biocidal products to consumers and competent authorities.
Procedures and added values of the BPR
The BPR establishes a rigorous procedure for placing biocidal products on the European market, which includes:
- Risk and Efficacy Assessment: Each biocidal product must undergo a scientific assessment of its efficacy and risks to human health, animals, and the environment for each intended use.
- Authorization: Biocidal products can only be placed on the European market if they obtain authorization from the competent authorities.
- Monitoring: The use of biocidal products is continuously monitored to ensure that no adverse effects occur.
The BPR also promotes the use of alternative methods to animal testing,
