The Biocidal Products Directive requires that all biocidal products must as a general rule be authorised before they can be imported, placed on the market or used. This is stated in Section 33(1) of the Danish Chemicals Act.
However, we are currently in a transitional period until the EU has evaluated all active substances. Products that are covered by the existing Danish authorisation scheme for biocidal products must therefore still be authorised in accordance with these rules while the transitional period is in force and the EU is evaluating the active substances in the products. This scheme will continue to apply to individual products until a decision has been made in the EU about inclusion or non-inclusion of the active substance(s). The products must then be authorised pursuant to the new rules. A more detailed description of the old Danish authorisation area is given in the now historical Annex I to the Danish Act on chemical substances and products dating from 1996.
