COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2026/277

of 5 February 2026

granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Hydrogen Peroxide Group’ 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 10 January 2017, ARKEMA FRANCE submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for Union authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘Hydrogen Peroxide Group’ of product-types 2, 3 and 4, 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-PU028831-12 in the Register for Biocidal Products.

(2)

‘Hydrogen Peroxide Group’ contains hydrogen peroxide 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, 3 and 4.

(3)

On 13 November 2024, 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 5 June 2025, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (2), the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Hydrogen Peroxide Group’ 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 ‘Hydrogen Peroxide Group’ 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(6) of that Regulation.

(6)

On 24 June 2025, 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 the biocidal product family ‘Hydrogen Peroxide Group’.

4.   AUTHORISED USE(S) OF THE META SPC

4.1.   Use description

Table 1

Use 1a.4a: Disinfection of food packaging by aseptic technology (bath and spray/vapour)

Product type

PT04: Food and feed area

Target organism(s) (including development stage)

Common name: bacteria

Common name: Bacterial spores

Common name: yeasts

Field(s) of use

indoor use

Disinfection of cardboard or plastic packaging (e.g. bricks, bottles, cups, pouches …) before filling with sensitive food products to be stored at room temperature for a long period

Application method(s)

Method: closed system

Detailed description:

Surfaces must be cleaned before disinfection.

Disinfection of food packaging is achieved by using two different techniques, usually called ‘bath’ and ‘spray’ technologies: ‘bath’ technology: the packaging material (cardboard or plastic rolls) is exposed to a 35 % hydrogen peroxide solution. Disinfection is achieved by heating hydrogen peroxide. The residual hydrogen peroxide on the packaging surface is removed by sterile compressed air. The sterile packaging is then folded, cut, filled with sterile food products and sealed.

‘spray technology’: the packaging material (preformed cardboard containers, plastic bottles and plastic preforms) is exposed to hydrogen peroxide vapor generated from a 35 % hydrogen peroxide solution which is sprayed and then vaporized, ensuring the complete sterilization of the inner surface of the packaging. Further hot sterile air removes hydrogen peroxide residual in the brick or bottle. The sterile packaging is then filled with sterile food products and sealed.

The disinfection machines are closed systems with no access to professionals during operation. In case of maintenance, the machine is stopped, hydrogen peroxide is removed (vapour extraction).

Application rate(s) and frequency

Number and timing of application:

Validated food processing systems that have control over the contaminant load on food packaging surfaces or food processing equipment prior to fill may vary concentration, temperature, and/or contact time to achieve the required level of disinfection. Container volume range (generally from 100 to 2 000  ml) may also influence operating parameters.

Ready-to-use 35 % w/w hydrogen peroxide.

Bath technology:

 

Contact time: 2,5 seconds minimum

 

Temperature : 80 °C minimum

Spray technology:

 

Application rate: 22,7–30 g H2O2/m3

 

Contact time: 2 seconds

Common name: Bacterial spores

Common name: yeasts

Field(s) of use

indoor use

Disinfection of cardboard or plastic packaging (e.g. bricks, bottles, cups, pouches …) before filling with sensitive food products to be stored at room temperature for a long period

Application method(s)

Method: closed system

Detailed description:

Surfaces must be cleaned before disinfection. Disinfection of food packaging is achieved by using two different techniques, usually called ‘bath’ and ‘spray’ technologies:

‘bath’ technology: the packaging material (cardboard or plastic rolls) is exposed to a 35 % hydrogen peroxide solution. Disinfection is achieved by heating hydrogen peroxide. The residual hydrogen peroxide on the packaging surface is removed by sterile compressed air. The sterile packaging is then folded, cut, filled with sterile food products and sealed.

‘spray technology’: the packaging material (preformed cardboard containers, plastic bottles and plastic preforms) is exposed to hydrogen peroxide vapor generated from a 35 % hydrogen peroxide solution which is sprayed and then vaporized, ensuring the complete sterilization of the inner surface of the packaging. Further hot sterile air removes hydrogen peroxide residual in the brick or bottle. The sterile packaging is then filled with sterile food products and sealed.

The disinfection machines are closed systems with no access to professionals during operation. In case of maintenance, the machine is stopped, hydrogen peroxide is removed (vapour extraction).

Application rate(s) and frequency

Number and timing of application:

Validated food processing systems that have control over the contaminant load on food packaging surfaces or food processing equipment prior to fill may vary concentration, temperature, and/or contact time to achieve the required level of disinfection. Container volume range (generally from 100 to 2 000  ml) may also influence operating parameters.

Dilute the product to 35 % w/w hydrogen peroxide before use.

Bath technology:

 

Contact time: 2,5 seconds minimum

 

Temperature : 80 °C minimum

Spray technology:

 

Application rate: 22,7–30 g H2O2/m3

 

Contact time: 2 seconds

4.1.1.   Use-specific instructions for use

Thoroughly clean and rinse the surface. Remove excess water from the surface before disinfection, if appropriate install biological and chemical indicators to validate the disinfection cycle.

The nebulizer devices are fed by connecting a drum of hydrogen peroxide solution (automated transfer and dosing) or by inserting a sealed cartridge. Professionals seal the enclosed space or room and initiate the decontamination cycle.

During this step, exposure to hydrogen peroxide is not possible as access to the fog-treated area is denied. The decontamination process starts with a dehumidification phase in which the machine removes water from the atmosphere.

In the disinfection phase, the machine injects nebulized hydrogen peroxide, depending on the device, into the sealed area for decontamination to get the hydrogen peroxide concentration up to the effective levels.

The succeeding disinfection phase lasts 3 hours during which the hydrogen peroxide fog disinfects the surfaces inside the sealed space.

After finishing the decontamination phase, the aeration cycle starts. This step has variable durations since it is complete when sensors inform that the hydrogen peroxide level is below 1,25 mg/m3. Biological and chemical indicators can then be collected to confirm the efficacy of the decontamination cycle

The user shall always carry out a microbiological validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable “standard room”, if applicable) with the devices to be used after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter.

Access to the treated area is denied during the disinfection process.

4.1.2.   Use-specific risk mitigation measures

This is without prejudice to the application of Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work. See section 6 for the full references to this act and the European Standards.

4.1.1.   Use-specific instructions for use

Thoroughly clean and rinse the surface. Remove excess water from the surface before disinfection, if appropriate install biological and chemical indicators to validate the disinfection cycle.

The nebulizer devices are fed by connecting a drum of hydrogen peroxide solution (automated transfer and dosing) or by inserting a sealed cartridge. Professionals seal the enclosed space or room and initiate the decontamination cycle.

During this step, exposure to hydrogen peroxide is not possible as access to the fog-treated area is denied. The decontamination process starts with a dehumidification phase in which the machine removes water from the atmosphere.

In the disinfection phase, the machine injects nebulized hydrogen peroxide, depending on the device, into the sealed area for decontamination to get the hydrogen peroxide concentration up to the effective levels.

The succeeding disinfection phase lasts 3 hours during which the hydrogen peroxide fog disinfects the surfaces inside the sealed space.

After finishing the decontamination phase, the aeration cycle starts. This step has variable durations since it is complete when sensors inform that the hydrogen peroxide level is below 1,25 mg/m3. Biological and chemical indicators can then be collected to confirm the efficacy of the decontamination cycle

The user shall always carry out a microbiological validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable “standard room”, if applicable) with the devices to be used after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter.

Access to the treated area is denied during the disinfection process.

4.1.2.   Use-specific risk mitigation measures

This is without prejudice to the application of Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work. See section 6 for the full references to this act and the European Standards.

4.1.1.   Use-specific instructions for use

Thoroughly clean and rinse the surface. Remove excess water from the surface before disinfection, if appropriate. Install biological and chemical indicators to validate the disinfection cycle.

The vaporiser unit is fed by connecting a 1l bottle of hydrogen peroxide solution.

The decontamination process starts with a dehumidification phase in which the machine removes water from the atmosphere.

In the disinfection phase, the machine injects vaporised hydrogen peroxide into the sealed area for decontamination to get the hydrogen peroxide concentration up to the effective level. During this phase, hydrogen peroxide vapour disinfects the surfaces inside the sealed space.

After finishing the decontamination phase, the aeration cycle starts. This step has variable durations since it is complete when sensors inform that the hydrogen peroxide level is below a defined value.

Biological and chemical indicators can then be collected to confirm the efficacy of the decontamination cycle. No one will actually enter the isolator after disinfection. No re-entry requirement is therefore necessary.

Application rates may vary from one equipment to the other. It is possible to use the product with different decontamination devices or for isolators with different volumes.
