COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/753

of 12 April 2023

granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family “C(M)IT/MIT formulations”

(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 the first subparagraph of Article 44(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 26 June 2017, ERM Regulatory Services Limited, acting on behalf of Solenis Switzerland GmbH, submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013 (2) for authorisation of the same biocidal product family, as referred to in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named “C(M)IT/MIT formulations”, of product-types 6, 11 and 12, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application was recorded under case number BC-TY032745-97 in the Register for Biocidal Products. The application also indicated the application number of the related reference product family “CMIT-MIT Aqueous 1.5-15”, recorded in that Register under case number BC-CY032700-28.

(2) The same biocidal product family “C(M)IT/MIT formulations” contains a mixture of CMIT/MIT, as the active substance, which is included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3) On 26 January 2021, the Agency submitted to the Commission an opinion (3) and the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of “C(M)IT/MIT formulations” in accordance with Article 6(1) and (2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013.

(4) The opinion concludes that “C(M)IT/MIT formulations” is a biocidal product family within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (s), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that the proposed differences between the same biocidal product family and the related reference biocidal product family are limited to information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (4), that “C(M)IT/MIT formulations” is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and that based on the assessment of the related reference “CMIT-MIT Aqueous 1.5-15” product family and subject to compliance with the draft SPC, the same biocidal product family meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(5) On 30 April 2021, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(6) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the same biocidal product family “C(M)IT/MIT formulations”.

(7) 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

A Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0025678-0000 is granted to Solenis Switzerland GmbH for the making available on the market and use of the same biocidal product family “C(M)IT/MIT formulations” in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.

The Union authorisation is valid from 3 May 2023 until 31 August 2032.

Closed recirculating heating systems: pre-commission biocidal product flushing of new or existing pipework systems (heating and chilling pipework) includes used or new structural pipework built on industrial building projects. The biocidal product is used to control the growth of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi and biofilm in the circulating water of closed systems. Closed systems are less susceptible to corrosion, scaling and biological fouling than open systems. However microbial problems can occur, if the system is left filled and untreated. This is due to the presence of nitrite and glycols used as nutrients by microbes.
