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 Dichlofluanid IUPAC Name: N-(Dichlorofluoromethylthio)-N′,N′-dimethyl-N-phenylsulfamide EC No: 214-118-7 CAS No: 1085-98-9 96 % w/w 1 November 2018 31 December 2025 21 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. In the event that products containing dichlofluanid 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. The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions: (1) Products containing dichlofluanid shall not be authorised or used to control the growth and settlement of fouling organisms on freshwater going vessels. (2) 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. (3) Labels and, where provided, instructions for use shall indicate that children shall be kept away until treated surfaces are dry. (4) 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 dichlofluanid shall be collected for reuse or disposal. (5) 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 ( 2 ) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded. The placing on the market of treated articles is subject to the following condition: The person responsible for the placing on the market of a treated article treated with or incorporating dichlofluanid shall ensure that the label of that treated article provides the information listed 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 evaluated 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 to be technically equivalent to the evaluated active substance.
