ED properties of Biocidal Products have become a hot topic since 07 June 2018, because evaluating competent authorities assess the potential ED properties of all biocidal products.
The ECHA/EFSA guidance for the identification of endocrine disruptors, implies rising standards and challenging requirements for the assessment of all substances. The competent authorities will also take into consideration the ED properties of substances or products for procedures that are still under evaluation. This higly complex and rigorous
approach impacts all aspects associated to data requirements, testing and assessment
strategies.
Applicants should:
• Review the active substances in the light of the scientific ED criteria
• Be prepared to provide more information on the possible ED properties of active
substances in their application
• Consult the national authority responsible for the evaluation active substances before
testing
•This criteria will apply not only to active substances but also to co-formulants, which
are especially critical within ED assessment framework.
This Workshop aims to provide a fully understanding and in-depth insight into the new EU Endocrine Disruptor criteria, and the recent ECHA/EFSA Guidance. Key industry experts will share valid and sound knowledge for identifying endocrine disrupting chemicals in the biocides area.
