Biocides

Biocides

Disinfectants, insecticides, antimicrobials, preservatives, and other forms of pest control are widely used to protect humans, animals, materials, or articles against harmful organisms, pests or bacteria in many jurisdictions across the globe.

Regulations, such as the Biocidal Product Regulation (EU) No. 528/2012 (BPR), the MOA Order (2017) No. 3 Measures on the Management of Pesticide Registration in China, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) in the USA , Pest Control Products Act (PCPA) in Canada or the Korean Act on Safe Control of Household Chemical Products and Biocides (K-BPR) have placed some regulatory hurdles for manufacturers and formulators to place their products on the global market. Data requirements are not fully harmonised at a global level, and deadlines, which you need to be aware of, are fast approaching in parallel.

A well-planned authorisation strategy needs to be established to ensure the economic success of your active substances or products worldwide - knoell can help you achieve this.

Study management and monitoring can be challenging tasks. Besides the various problems caused by complicated test substances, the right laboratory needs to be identified for the required study, and ideally you want a study to be performed in a way that it can be used for submissions in more than one country or region if your business is international. Find out why knoell might be the right choice for you when it comes to study management and monitoring.

Developing a product is one thing, but making sure that it is used and transported safely a completely other. It is essential that you know your obligations as manufacturer or importer. For example, classification of mixtures in accordance with the CLP Regulation (EU) No 1272/2008 is something you need to consider for your biocidal products. Additional information on transport, classification and labelling.

Optimise the way you perform your day-to-day work. Automation can help.
