COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/2319
of 18 November 2025
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/527 as regards administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’
(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 50(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 1 April 2022, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/527 (2) granted a Union authorisation, under number EU-0026814-0000, to Procter & Gamble Services Company NV for the making available on the market and use of the single biocidal product ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’. The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the summary of biocidal product characteristics for that single biocidal product. |
|
(2) |
On 9 January 2023, Procter & Gamble Services Company NV submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (3), a notification of an administrative change to the Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’, recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘Register’) under case number BC-CE083625-47. The notified proposed change concerns the addition of trade names. |
|
(3) |
On 20 February 2023, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an opinion (4) on the notified administrative change to the Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’. In the opinion, the Agency concludes that the proposed change is an administrative change as referred to in Article 50(3), point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified in Title 1, Section 1, of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that, after the implementation of the change, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met. |
|
(4) |
On 20 February 2023, the Agency transmitted to the Commission a revised summary of the biocidal product characteristics for the single biocidal product ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’ in all official languages of the Union, covering the administrative change applied for, in accordance with Article 11(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013. |
|
(5) |
The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’ to introduce the administrative change requested by Procter & Gamble Services Company NV. |
|
(6) |
Except for the amendments regarding the proposed change, all other information included in the summary of the biocidal product characteristics of ‘ARIEL chlorine Professional System 5 chlorine bleach for white wash’, as set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/527, remains unchanged. |
|
(7) |
In order to enhance clarity and to ease the access of users and interested parties to the consolidated version of the summary of the biocidal product characteristics which is to be published by the Agency, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/527 should be replaced in its entirety. Due to a change in the format used for the generation of the summary of biocidal product characteristics in the Register in February 2024, the summary of biocidal product characteristics in that Annex should also include some minor editorial and layout changes. |
|
(8) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/527 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/527 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
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, 18 November 2025.
