Article 15U.K.Substance/product-type combinations eligible for inclusion in the review programme

Where a biocidal product covered by the scope of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and being placed on the market consists of, contains or generates an existing active substance which is neither approved, nor included in the review programme, for the product-type, and is not included in Annex I to that Regulation, that substance shall be eligible for inclusion in the review programme for the relevant product-type on any of the following grounds:

(a)

the person placing the product on the market has relied on guidance published by, or written advice received from, the Commission or a competent authority designated in accordance with Article 26 of Directive 98/8/EC or Article 81 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, where that guidance or advice gave objectively justified reasons to believe that the product was excluded from the scope of Directive 98/8/EC or of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, or that the relevant product-type was one for which the active substance had been notified and where that guidance or advice is subsequently reviewed in a decision adopted pursuant to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 or in new, authoritative guidance published by the Commission;

(b)

the substance has benefitted from the derogation for food and feed provided for by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007;

(c)

the biocidal product belongs under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 to a different product-type than the one it belonged to under Directive 98/8/EC, as a result of a modification of scope of those product-types, and contains a substance included in the review programme for the original product-type but not for the new one.

Article 16U.K.Declaration of interest to notify

1.A declaration of interest to notify a substance which is eligible for inclusion in the review programme pursuant to Article 15 shall be submitted through the Register by any person with an interest to notify a substance/product-type combination to one of the following recipients:

(b)to the Agency at the latest 30 October 2015 in cases referred to in point (b) of Article 15;

(c)to the Commission at the latest 30 October 2015 in cases referred to in point (c) of Article 15.

2.A declaration shall indicate the relevant substance/product-type combination. In cases referred to in point (a) of Article 15, the declaration shall provide a substantiated justification showing that all the conditions listed therein are fulfilled.

3.Where a declaration has been made in a case referred to in point (a) or (c) of Article 15, and the Commission finds, in consultation with the Member States, that paragraph 6 is not applicable, and, where relevant, that the conditions for notification listed in point (a) of Article 15 are fulfilled, it shall inform the Agency thereof.

4.Where a declaration has been made in the case referred to in point (b) of Article 15, or where the Commission has informed the Agency pursuant to paragraph 3, the Agency shall make that information publicly available by electronic means, mentioning the relevant substance/product-type combination. For the purposes of this Regulation, a publication made pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 3a(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 shall be considered as a publication made pursuant to this paragraph.

5.Within 6 months from the date of a publication referred to in paragraph 4, any person with an interest to notify the substance/product-type combination may do so pursuant to Article 17.

6.In cases referred to in points (a) and (c) of Article 15, a substance/product-type combination shall be considered as notified by a participant, and shall not be eligible for additional notification where the following conditions apply:

(a)the relevant active substance is already included in the review programme;

(b)one of the dossiers submitted to the evaluating Member State for the relevant active substance already contains all the data required for the evaluation of the product-type;

(c)the participant which has submitted that dossier indicates an interest to support the substance/product-type combination.

2.The notification shall be submitted in IUCLID format. It shall contain the information referred to in Annex I.

3.Where no evaluating competent authority is indicated in Annex II for the active substance in question, the notifier shall inform the Agency of the name of its choice of competent authority designated in accordance with Article 81 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, and provide written confirmation that that competent authority agrees to evaluate the dossier.
