of 7 July 2023

approving

Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium

extract from open and mature flowers of

obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 18 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 89(1), third subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes

Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium

extract from open and mature flowers of

Tanacetum cinerariifolium

obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide.

(2) Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium

extract from open and mature flowers of

Tanacetum cinerariifolium

obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide has been evaluated for use in biocidal products of product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as described in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), which corresponds to product-type 18 as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3) Spain was designated as the rapporteur Member State and its evaluating competent authority submitted the assessment report together with its conclusions to the Commission on 1 September 2010. After the submission of the assessment report, discussions took place in technical meetings organised by the Commission and, after 1 September 2013, by the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’).

(4) It follows from Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 that substances for which the Member States’ evaluation has been completed by 1 September 2013 should be assessed in accordance with the provisions of Directive 98/8/EC.

(5) In accordance with Article 75(1), second subparagraph, point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Biocidal Products Committee prepares the opinion of the Agency regarding the applications for approval of active substances. In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the Biocidal Products Committee adopted the opinion of the Agency (4) on 22 November 2022, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

(6) In the opinion, the Agency concludes that biocidal products of product-type 18 containing

Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium

extract from open and mature flowers of

Tanacetum cinerariifolium

obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5(1), points (b), (c) and (d), of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain conditions concerning their use are complied with.

(7) Taking into account the opinion of the Agency, it is appropriate to approve

Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium

extract from open and mature flowers of

Tanacetum cinerariifolium

obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 18 subject to compliance with certain conditions.

(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium

extract from open and mature flowers of

Tanacetum cinerariifolium

obtained with supercritical carbon dioxide is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 18 subject to the conditions set out in the Annex.

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.

The authorisation of biocidal products is subject to the following conditions:

(1)	the product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union-level risk assessment of the active substance;

(2)

the product assessment shall pay particular attention to:

(i)	professional users and general public;

(ii)	surface water and sediment for products applied via large-scale spraying outdoors;

(3)

for products that may lead to residues in food or feed, it shall be assessed whether new maximum residue levels (MRLs) need to be set or the existing MRLs need to be amended in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3), and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that such MRLs are not exceeded.

(1) The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance evaluated. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven to be technically equivalent to the evaluated active substance.

(2) Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (
