COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1853

of 27 November 2018

granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family Teat disinfectants biocidal product family of CVAS

(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 44(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 28 August 2015, the Scientific Consulting Company — SCC GmbH acting on behalf of CVAS Development GmbH submitted an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for authorisation of a biocidal product family named Teat disinfectants biocidal product family of CVAS (‘product family’) of product-type 3, as described in Annex V to that Regulation. The competent authority of Netherlands agreed to evaluate the application as referred to in Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application was recorded under the case number BC-WU019429-99 in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘the Register’).

(2) The biocidal product family contains iodine, including polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine, 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. Taking into account the intrinsic properties of the active substance, and following the entry into application of the scientific criteria for the determination of endocrine-disrupting properties set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2100 (2), the Commission will consider the need to review the approval of iodine, including polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine, in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Depending on the outcome of that review, the Commission will then consider whether the Union authorisations for products containing the active substance have to be reviewed in accordance with Article 48 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3) On 30 August 2017, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’).

(4) On 19 March 2018, the Agency submitted to the Commission an opinion (3), including the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of the product family and the final assessment report on the product family in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The opinion concludes that the product family falls within the definition of ‘biocidal product family’ laid down in Article 3(1)(s) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that subject to compliance with the draft SPC, the product family meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of that Regulation.

(5) On 25 April 2018, 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 biocidal product family.

(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:

Table 1. Use # 1 — Teat disinfection of milkable animals: Post-milking teat disinfection by manual dipping

4.1.1.   

Use-specific instructions for use

The product must be brought to a temperature above 20 °C before use.

The use of a dosing pump for filling the product into the application equipment is recommended.

Fill the reservoir with the RTU product assuming 5 mL product per cow and screw the dip cup on top. Avoid discharge of surplus fluids.

Clean the teats carefully by wiping with a single service paper towel/cloth immediately before milking.

After milking, squeeze the reservoir and put the dip cup over each teat from below making sure that about 3 cm of the teat are immersed into the disinfectant.

Refill the cup of the dipping unit with fresh disinfectant by squeezing the reservoir as needed. Refill the reservoir with fresh disinfectant as needed.

Leave the product on the teats until next milking. Keep the animals standing for at least 5 minutes after treatment.

After disinfection, empty the reservoir and clean reservoir and dip cup by rinsing with water.

4.1.2.   

Use-specific risk mitigation measures

In case a combination of pre- and post-milking disinfection is necessary, using another product not containing iodine has to be considered for pre-milking disinfection.

4.4.1.   

Use-specific instructions for use

The product must be brought to a temperature above 20 °C before use.

Open a can containing the RTU product and insert a suction tube of the automated dipping-system. Avoid discharge of surplus fluids.

After milking, the vacuum is shut off and the teat dip is injected into a manifold on the clawpiece. The teats are coated with ca. 5 mL of dip when the teat cup is withdrawn by the Automatic Cluster Removal (ACR). After the removal of the ACR, every liner of the automated dipping-system is thoroughly rinsed with water and blown out with compressed air.

In a final cleaning step after each milking session of the herd, the liners are disinfected (e.g. with a chlorine-based product) and blown out again with compressed air.

Leave the product on the teats until next milking. Keep the animals standing for at least 5 minutes after treatment.

Afterwards, the milking system is ready for the next milking event.

The whole process is automated.

4.3.1.   

Use-specific instructions for use

The product must be brought to a temperature above 20 °C before use.

The use of a dosing pump for filling the product into the application equipment is recommended.

Fill the reservoir with the RTU product assuming 5 mL product per cow and screw the top of the trigger sprayer on it. Avoid discharge of surplus fluids.

Clean the teats carefully by wiping with a single service paper towel/cloth immediately before milking.

After milking, spray the disinfectant on the teats using the trigger sprayer making sure that about 3 cm of the teat around the streak canal are covered with the disinfectant.

Refill the reservoir of the trigger sprayer with fresh disinfectant as needed.

Leave the product on the teats until next milking. Keep the animals standing for at least 5 minutes after treatment.

After disinfection, empty the reservoir and clean reservoir and trigger sprayer by rinsing with water.

4.3.2.   

Use-specific risk mitigation measures

Use chemical resistant gloves (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) during postmilking teat disinfection by manual spraying using a trigger sprayer.

Avoid working in spray mist.

In case a combination of pre- and post-milking disinfection is necessary, using another product not containing iodine has to be considered for pre-milking disinfection.

4.5.1.   

Use-specific instructions for use

The product must be brought to a temperature above 20 °C before use.

Open a can containing the RTU product and insert a suction tube of the automated dipping-system. Avoid discharge of surplus fluids.

After milking, the vacuum is shut off and the teat dip is injected into a manifold on the clawpiece. The teats are coated with ca. 5 mL of dip when the teat cup is withdrawn by the Automatic Cluster Removal (ACR). After the removal of the ACR, every liner of the automated dipping-system is thoroughly rinsed with water and blown out with compressed air.

In a final cleaning step after each milking session of the herd, the liners are disinfected (e.g. with a chlorine-based product) and blown out again with compressed air.

Leave the product on the teats until next milking. Keep the animals standing for at least 5 minutes after treatment.

Afterwards, the milking system is ready for the next milking event.

The whole process is automated.
