Biocide Authorization: EU Standardizes Dossier Format

As of July 1, 2026, manufacturers of biocides and biocidal products must submit their data uniformly in IUCID format if they wish to renew their substance authorization under the Biocidal Products Regulation. That was the decision of the EU authorities responsible for biocides at their meeting at the end of September.

The harmonization of the format will make it easier for authorities to exchange and analyze data and to assess risks of chemical substances better and faster.

We advise you with regard to the requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 528/2012 (Biocidal Products Regulation, BPR), check the labeling and marketability of biocidal products within the EU and carry out the biocide notification in Germany to the BAuA according to the German “Chemikaliengesetz (ChemBiozidMeldeV)”.
