Biocidal products
Biocidal products are used to control unwanted organisms that are harmful to human or animal health or to the environment, or that cause damage to human activities. These harmful organisms include pests (e.g. insects, rats or mice) and microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses, mould).
Biocidal products are regulated by the Regulation EU 528/2012 include among others:
- Insecticides
- Disinfectants
- Preservatives for materials such as wood, plastics and fibres
- Anti-fouling paints for the protection of ship hulls.
They play an important role in EU citizens’ daily lives, for example, helping to protect against:
- Vector-borne diseases (e.g. malaria, dengue fever or chikungunya)
- Food-borne diseases (e.g. salmonellosis, listeriosis)
- Hospital-acquired infections (e.g. MRSA).
They are also widely used in materials such as plastics, paints, textiles, wood, etc. to protect these materials against microbial, fungi or insect decay.
However, because of their intrinsic properties, biocidal products can pose risks to humans, animals and the environment. As a result, the EU has set up strict rules and procedures to minimise these risks.
