This draft Commission Implementing Regulation provides that the approval of the active substance captan is renewed with restriction to uses in greenhouses, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. EU Member States shall amend/withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing captan as an active substance. The restricted renewal of approval is based on the first evaluation of the substance for use as a pesticide active substance in the EU under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The substance was formerly assessed and approved under Directive 91/414/EEC. This decision only concerns the placing on the market of this substance and plant protection products containing it. Separate action will likely be taken on maximum residue limits (MRLs) and a separate notification will be made in accordance with SPS procedures.

This draft Commission Implementing Decision does not approve 2,2-Dibromo-2-cyanoacetamide (DBNPA) as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 4. DBNPA has endocrine disrupting properties that may cause adverse effects in humans and the environment (non-target organisms) in accordance with the criteria laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2100. DBNPA therefore meets the exclusion criteria set out in Article 5(1), point (d), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. None of the derogation criteria under Article 5(2) of the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) are considered met, alternatives are available for its use in biocidal products of product-type 4. It is therefore appropriate not to approve DBNPA for use in biocidal products of product-type 4.

This draft Commission Implementing Decision does not approve d-Allethrin as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 18. According to the opinion of the Agency, biocidal products of product-type 18 containing d-Allethrin cannot be expected to meet the criteria laid down in Article 19(1), points (b)(iii), and (iv), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. In its opinion, the Agency noted that the proposed reference specifications, established on the basis of data provided by one of the applicants, are not in line with the composition of the material that was used for testing to generate the toxicological data provided by the applicants. (...) According to the opinion of the Agency, based on the available toxicological data, an unacceptable risk has been identified for the general public due to secondary exposure to genotoxic photometabolites formed after the application of the representative products. In addition, according to the opinion of the Agency, an unacceptable risk to the environment has been identified for the aquatic compartment (surface water and sediment) and for soil. (...)

Technical regulation or specifications | Chemicals | Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 71568 part…
Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 71568 part 4, dealing with foam concentrates fire extinguishers. This draft standard revision adopts both the European Standard EN 1568-4: February 2018 and the American Standard ANSI/UL 162 – Eighth Edition: February 23, 2018 (only the requirements applying to low expansion foam concentrates for surface application to water-miscible liquids).
The standard's Hebrew section includes a few national deviations as follows: 1. In the European route of compliance (Chapter A): o Adds to the standard's introduction a reference to the Mandatory Standards SI 2302 parts 1-2, dealing with the classification, labeling, marking, packaging and transportation of dangerous substances and mixtures; (...) o Changes the requirements of Section 12 dealing with occupational health and ecotoxicological requirements; (...) 2. In the American route of compliance (Chapter B): Changes the standard's scope to apply to low expansion foam concentrates for surface application to water-miscible liquids ; (...) o Adds a new Section 27 dealing with ecotoxicological requirements. The major differences between the old version and this new revised draft standard are as follow: • Adds to both routes of compliance new requirements that limit the maximum concentration of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds and of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds, in foam concentrates (...) |
