In the event that products containing dicopper oxide are subsequently authorised for use by non-professional users, persons making products available on the market for non-professional users shall ensure that the products are supplied with appropriate gloves. For biocidal products, authorisations are subject to the following conditions: 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. Labels and, where provided, instructions for use shall indicate that children shall be kept away until treated surfaces are dry. 3. Labels and, where provided, safety data sheets of products authorised shall indicate that application, maintenance and repair activities shall be conducted within a contained area, on an impermeable hard standing with bunding or on soil covered with an impermeable material to prevent losses and minimise emissions to the environment, and that any losses or waste containing dicopper oxide shall be collected for reuse or disposal. 4. 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 Β ( 2 ) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council Β ( 3 ) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded. ( 1 ) Β Β 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 89(1) 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.
