For biocidal products, authorisations are subject to the following conditions: (1) For 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) To prevent risks for the aquatic compartment, for the treament of surfaces prone to frequent wet cleaning, products shall only be used to treat crack and crevices, unless it can be demonstrated in the application for product authorisation that risks for the aquatic compartment can be reduced to an acceptable level. ( 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. ( 2 ) For the implementation of the common principles of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the content and conclusions of assessment reports are available on the Commission website: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/biocides/index_en.htm.
