BIOCIDES and PMC

The biocides are “ active ingredients and preparations containing one or more active ingredients, presented in the form in which they are delivered to the user, intended to destroy, eliminate, render harmless, prevent action or exert other control effect on any harmful organism by chemical means or biological “.

The use of biocides is widespread and covers industrial, professional and domestic sectors.

Regulation (EU) no. 528/2012 establishes that following approval (at European level) of the active ingredients contained in biocides, the products must be authorized before being placed on the market. The authorization is issued by one Member State, it can be recognized by other Member States (mutual recognition) or it can be requested at European level.

Furthermore, from 1 September 2015 only active ingredients whose supplier has been identified pursuant to Article 95 of the Regulation and is listed in the list of so-called active suppliers (recognized suppliers).

The medical and surgical devices (PMC) are disinfectants, insecticides, insect repellents and rat poison products that fall within the scope of application of Presidential Decree 392 of 6 October 1998.

The authorization procedures are different since we are in a transitional period for the recognition of active substances: if the active ingredients contained have not yet been approved according to the review program of the biocidal active ingredients, the product is governed by the national standard, which provides both the production authorization procedure and the marketing authorization procedure.
