COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/2424
of 13 September 2024
granting a Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘SANICALCO S’ in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 20 April 2018, CARMEUSE EUROPE S.A. submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013 (2) for Union authorisation of the same single biocidal product, as referred to in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named ‘SANICALCO S’, of product-types 2 and 3, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application was recorded under case number BC-NE038810-48 in the Register for Biocidal Products. The application also indicated the case number of the related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA hydra-lime 23’ later authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2701 (3), recorded in that register under case number BC-JR038510-32. |
(2) |
The single biocidal product ‘SANICALCO S’ contains calcium dihydroxide/calcium hydroxide/caustic lime/hydrated lime/slaked lime 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 2 and 3. |
(3) |
On 8 September 2022, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (4) and the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘SANICALCO S’ in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013. |
(4) |
In its opinion, the Agency concludes that the proposed differences between the single biocidal product ‘SANICALCO S’ and the related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA hydra-lime 23’ are limited to information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (5), and that based on the assessment of the related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA hydra-lime 23’ and subject to compliance with the draft SPC, the same single biocidal product ‘SANICALCO S’ meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. |
(5) |
On 23 February 2024, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised SPC of ‘SANICALCO S’ in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. |
(6) |
The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the same single biocidal product ‘SANICALCO S’. |
(7) |
The expiry date of the authorisation should be aligned with the expiry date of the authorisation of the related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA hydra-lime 23’. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
A Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0029398-0000 is granted to CARMEUSE EUROPE S.A. for the making available on the market and use of the same single biocidal product ‘SANICALCO S’ in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.
The Union authorisation is valid from 6 October 2024 until 30 November 2033.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 13 September 2024.
