THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 44(5), first subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

On 22 June 2017, Lanxess Deutschland GmbH submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for a Union authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’ of product-types 6, 11, 12 and 13, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of the Netherlands had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-HA032066-67 in the Register for Biocidal Products.

(2)

‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’ contains ‘mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (3:1) (Mixture of CMIT/MIT)’ as the active substance, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product-types 6, 11, 12 and 13.

(3)	On 8 March 2023, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the Agency.

(4)

On 2 October 2023, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (2), the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’ and the final assessment report on the biocidal product family, in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(5)

The opinion concludes that ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’ is a biocidal product family within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (s), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that, subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of that Regulation.

(6)	On 23 October 2023, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(7)	The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for ‘LANXESS CMIT/MIT biocidal product family’.

4.13.1. Use-specific instructions

During the shutdown of production, it is recommended to counteract microbiological growth inside the membrane elements. Before the shutdown, the plant has to be cleaned first, to remove all sorts of deposits like carbonates, salts, silica, organic matter or biomass. For this purpose, specialized membrane cleaners are used. After cleaning, the plant is flushed with permeate quality water until neutral pH is achieved. Only after these cleaning steps, CMIT/MIT containing water shall reach the plant and shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping. The biocidal product shall be added to the fill-water (permeate quality), to avoid microbiological growth during longer shut downs. During longer shut downs, the fill-water shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping and sampled to check for a microbiological re-contamination. A shift in pH can be a first indication of a re-contamination by microbiology. In this case the fill-up solution must be replaced.

With respect to the “Category (ies) of users” note: “Professionals (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.”

Resistance management for intended applications (PT 11):

—	avoidance of under-dosing;

—	frequent detection of efficacy and of biocide content in the industrial systems to assure maintenance of correct CMIT/MIT concentration;

—	for new applications, preliminary tests to determine the suitability, compatibility and optimal application concentration are strongly recommended;

—	under difficult conditions alternation of active ingredients, i.e. rotation with other biocides, also combination with other products may be useful.

4.14.1. Use-specific instructions

During the shutdown of production, it is recommended to counteract microbiological growth inside the membrane elements. Before the shutdown, the plant shall be cleaned first, to remove all sorts of deposits like carbonates, salts, silica, organic matter or biomass. For this purpose, specialized membrane cleaners are used. After cleaning, the plant is flushed with permeate quality water until neutral pH is achieved. Only after these cleaning steps, CMIT/MIT containing water is reaching the plant and is regularly circulated by slow pumping. The biocidal product shall be added to the fill-water (permeate quality), to avoid microbiological growth during longer shutdowns. During longer shutdowns, the fill-water shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping and sampled to check for a microbiological re-contamination. A shift in pH can be a first indication of a re-contamination by microbiology. In this case the fill-up solution shall be replaced.

4.14.1. Use-specific instructions

During the shutdown of production, it is recommended to counteract microbiological growth inside the membrane elements. Before the shutdown, the plant shall be cleaned first, to remove all sorts of deposits like carbonates, salts, silica, organic matter or biomass. For this purpose, specialized membrane cleaners are used. After cleaning, the plant is flushed with permeate quality water until neutral pH is achieved. Only after these cleaning steps, CMIT/MIT containing water is reaching the plant and is regularly circulated by slow pumping. The biocidal product shall be added to the fill-water (permeate quality), to avoid microbiological growth during longer shut downs. During longer shut downs, the fill-water shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping and sampled to check for a microbiological re-contamination. A shift in pH can be a first indication of a re-contamination by microbiology. In this case the fill-up solution must be replaced.

4.13.1. Use-specific instructions

During the shutdown of production, it is recommended to counteract microbiological growth inside the membrane elements. Before the shutdown, the plant shall be cleaned first, to remove all sorts of deposits like carbonates, salts, silica, organic matter or biomass. For this purpose, specialized membrane cleaners are used. After cleaning, the plant is flushed with permeate quality water until neutral pH is achieved. Only after these cleaning steps, CMIT/MIT containing water is reaching the plant and is regularly circulated by slow pumping. The biocidal product shall be added to the fill-water (permeate quality), to avoid microbiological growth during longer shut downs. During longer shut downs, the fill-water shall be regularly circulated by slow pumping and sampled to check for a microbiological re-contamination. A shift in pH can be a first indication of a re-contamination by microbiology. In this case the fill-up solution shall be replaced.

5.1. Instructions for use

General instructions

The product labels give instructions on the dosage of the product.

General use information

PT 6

For the in-can preservation of washing and cleaning fluids, paints and coatings, fluids used in paper, textile and leather production, as well as glues and adhesives, concrete additives and building materials (e.g. fillers/sealants, plasters, wax emulsions), polymer dispersions/ emulsions (intended for use in paints, coatings, glues, adhesives, building materials and fluids used in textile production) and the treatment of mineral slurries.

The product shall be homogeneously incorporated into the matrix to be protected.

PT 11

Heavily contaminated units shall be cleaned prior to treatment.

The biocidal product is added to the water circuit to be treated at a point at which a rapid and even distribution of the biocide can be ensured.

The microbiocidal effect begins immediately after metering.

The dose strongly depends on the formulation and intended use of the product to which the preservative is added. Therefore, the user shall determine dosage requirements for their specific matrix/system to be preserved. The lowest effective dose shall be used. Due to variation in the different systems and matrices (organic load, microbial contamination, slime forming, temperature , pH, etc.) accurate measurements by chemical and microbiological tests shall be carried out to determine the effective dose for the specific location or system.

PT 12

The microbiocidal effect begins immediately after metering.

The biocidal product is added to the white water circuit (short circulation) in paper machines to be treated at a point at which a rapid and even distribution of the biocide can be ensured.

PT 13

For use as a protective agent for the preservation of liquids used to treat or cut metal and glass. Aim of application is to prevent microbial deterioration caused by bacteria, fungi or yeasts.

The microbiocidal effect begins immediately after metering

The biocidal product is added to the metalworking circuit to be treated at a point at which a rapid and even distribution of the biocide can be ensured.

5.2. Risk mitigation measures

During product handling:

In case of C(M)IT/MIT concentrations ≥ 15 ppm:

During product handling, application and post-application: Wear protective chemical resistant gloves consistent with European Standard EN ISO 374 or equivant and a protective coverall (at least type 6) consistent with European Standard EN 13034 or equivalent which is impermeable for the biocidal product.

With respect to the “Category (ies) of users” note: “Professionals (including industrial users) means trained professionals if this is required by national legislation.”

Resistance management for intended applications (PT 11, 12, 13):

—	avoidance of under-dosing;

—	frequent detection of efficacy and of biocide content in the industrial systems to assure maintenance of correct CMIT/MIT concentration;

—	for new applications, preliminary tests to determine the suitability, compatibility and optimal application concentration are strongly recommended;

—	under difficult conditions alternation of active ingredients, i.e. rotation with other biocides, also combination with other products may be useful.
