In cases where active substance/product type combinations are not supported, GB biocides regulations require that these active substance/product type combinations are subject to a GB non-approval decision.
Once a decision is taken, the active substances will no longer be able to be used in biocidal products of the relevant product type in GB. In addition, articles treated with such products will no longer be able to be placed on the market in GB. HSE will provide separate updates on the decision and relevant phase-out periods.
