The biocidal active substances with anticoagulant rodenticide action (TP14) such as brodifacoum, bromadiolone, chlorophacinone, coumatetralil, difenacum, difethialone and floucoumafen are currently under the renewal process after submitting the corresponding applications to ECHA. The competent authorities of Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Norway and the Netherlands evaluate applications as evaluating competent authorities.
Since, given the renewal evaluation times, it is likely that the approvals would expire (June 30, 2024) before decisions on their renewals have been made, it is appropriate to delay the expiration date of the approvals long enough to allow applications can be examined. Therefore, on 27 February 2024, the European Commission published Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/734, delaying the expiry date of the approval of all these active substances (a.s.) until 31 December 2026.
Already in October 2023, ECHA informed the Commission that the evaluating competent authorities intend to submit their evaluation reports and conclusions of their evaluations to ECHA in the third quarter of 2024, when an idea of the preliminary conclusions might be available, and we will report on this in due course.
In accordance with the BPR, the approval of these a.s. can only be renewed if they continue to meet the conditions set out in the BPR Regulation as well as the derogating conditions. In this evaluation, the exclusion criteria currently established according to the BPR Regulation for each of these companies must be taken into account:
The European Union regulatory framework requires a thorough evaluation to ensure that biocidal products containing these s.a. do not present unacceptable risks to humans or the environment, balancing the benefits of rodent control with potential safety concerns. So, these a.s. are subject to rigorous scrutiny to confirm their safety and environmental compatibility. Therefore, the delay until the end of 2026 allows all parties involved (ECHA, Member States and Stakeholders) enough time to evaluate these substances.
