Get a head start on active substances coming through the EU BPR review programme

Undertake the key activities now to facilitate a streamlined authorisation process.

It's never too early to start preparing for a biocidal product’s authorisation under the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR). Ahead of data gap analysis, get to know the product inside and out by developing a core product foundation that covers everything from formulation, packaging, specific uses and claims. Data gap analysis is usually the first step taken by companies undergoing authorisation of a biocidal product. However, building a core foundation for the product ahead of this can make the process more efficient and effective.
