ANNEX Common Name IUPAC Name Identification Numbers Minimum degree of purity of the active substance ( 1 ) Date of approval Expiry date of approval Product type Specific conditions ( 2 ) Bromoacetic acid IUPAC Name: 2-bromo-ethanoic acid EC No: 201-175-8 CAS No: 79-08-3 946 g/kg 1 July 2015 30 June 2025 4 The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance. Authorisations are subject to the following condition: (1) For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means, products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment. (2) For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 4 ) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded. (3) Products containing bromoacetic acid shall not be incorporated in materials and articles intended to come into contact with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, unless the Commission has established specific limits on the migration of bromoacetic acid into food or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary. Where a treated article has been treated with or intentionally incorporates bromoacetic acid, and where necessary due to the possibility of skin contact as well as the release of bromoacetic acid under normal conditions of use, the person responsible for placing the treated article on the market shall ensure that the label provides information on the risk of skin sensitisation, as well as the information referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. ( 1 ) The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.
