Whereas:
(1) On 20 December 2018, Orochemie GmbH + Co. KG, submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for Union authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘Orochemie hand disinfectants’ of product-type 1, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of Germany had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-KA047310-68 in the Register for Biocidal Products.
(2) ‘Orochemie hand disinfectants’ contains propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol, as active substances, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product-type 1.
(3) On 22 November 2023, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the Agency.
(4) On 26 June 2024, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (2), the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Orochemie hand disinfectants’ and the final assessment report on the biocidal product family, in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(5) The opinion concludes that ‘Orochemie hand disinfectants’ is a biocidal product family within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (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, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(6) of that Regulation.
(6) On 15 July 2024, 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.
(7) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Orochemie hand disinfectants’.
