of 4 June 2024

granting a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Thonhauser PAA’ 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 44(5), first subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 27 September 2017, THONHAUSER 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 Union authorisation of the same biocidal product family, as referred to in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named ‘Thonhauser PAA’, of product-types 2, 3 and 4, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application was recorded under case number BC-CN034171-51 in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘the Register’). The application also indicated the application number of the related reference biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’, later authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200 (3), recorded in the Register under case number BC-EW057176-14.

(2) The same biocidal product family ‘Thonhauser PAA’ contains peracetic acid as the active substance, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product-types 2, 3 and 4.

(3) On 14 October 2022, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (4) and the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Thonhauser PAA’ in accordance with Article 6(1) and (2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013.

(4) In its opinion, the Agency concludes that the proposed differences between ‘Thonhauser PAA’ and the biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’ are limited to information which can be the subject of an administrative change in accordance with Article 11 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 (5), and that based on the assessment of the related reference biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’ and subject to compliance with the draft SPC, ‘Thonhauser PAA’ meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(5) On 21 December 2023, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC of ‘Thonhauser PAA’ in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and based on the SPC of the related reference biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’.

(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 ‘Thonhauser PAA’.

(7) The expiry date of this authorisation is aligned to the expiry date of the authorisation of the related reference biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’.

(8) 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-0029721-0000 is hereby granted to THONHAUSER GmbH for the making available on the market and use of the same biocidal product family ‘Thonhauser PAA’ in accordance with the summary of the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.

The Union authorisation is valid from 27 June 2024 until 30 June 2033.

— final rinsing step (with potable water).

After the disinfection procedure, CIP vessels (pipework and tanks) are drained and rinsed with water under closed system conditions.

— Disinfection procedures by dipping:

— the solution shall not be re-used.

Use only once a day after production and replace it with a fresh solution daily.

— Disinfection procedures by spraying:

— wet the surface completely (application rate > 20 ml/m

but maximum 100ml/m

) in order to keep the surface wet during the required contact time;

— do not use equipment until product is completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.

For PT3 uses:

— do not use equipment and surfaces or allow animals/poultry to enter the treated area until product is completely absorbed to the surface or air dried;

— the products shall not be used for the disinfection of animal transport vehicles.

5.2. Risk mitigation measures

— When respiratory protection is required (that is when the concentration of PAA and/or hydrogen peroxide are above their respective Acute Exposure Concentration (AEC)inhalation (0,5 mg/m

and 1,25 mg/m

respectively), use an approved air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air respirator depending on the potential airborne concentration.

— Do not use equipment and surfaces or allow animals/poultry to enter the treated area until product is completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.

— Keep out of reach of children and non-target animals and pets.

— Re-entrance into treated area is only allowed once the levels of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide in the air are below the AEC inhalation (respectively 0,5 mg/m

for PAA & 1,25 mg/m

for hydrogen peroxide)

— No bystanders are allowed in treated area during the application phase.

— Animals shall be removed before treatment takes place.

5.3. Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

— IF SWALLOWED: Immediately rinse mouth. Give something to drink, if exposed person is able to swallow. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.
