The new regulation on biocidal products will repeal and replace the current Directive 98/8/EC from the beginning of 2013 on. The revision does not just expand the sphere of affected objects, e.g. textiles treated with biocides will fall under the new law, also responsibilities will shift. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), already active in the management of REACH, is the authority to-be regarding the evaluation of new and the re-assessment of existing active substances. The changes lead to numerous questions throughout the industry about the future procedure of authorisation. Experts of the European Commission and the ECHA present the details of the regulation on the International Fresenius Conference "The Biocidal Products Regulation” from 18 to 19 October 2011 in Frankfurt/Germany.

Alongside the regulatory aspects of the new regulation, the conference will stress experiences of implementation gained from member states and the industry during the old directive. Product authorisation as well as the overall recognition of it will be highlighted through practical examples from different speakers. Beyond that, the participants will discuss the assumed consequences caused by the regulatory changes for the whole industrial sector.
