The authorisation of biocidal products is subject to the following conditions:

(a)

the product assessment pays 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;

(b)

the product assessment pays particular attention to:

(i)

industrial and professional users;

(ii)

groundwater for wood in service that will be exposed to frequent weathering;

(c)

labels and, where provided, safety data sheets of products authorised indicate that industrial or professional application is conducted within a contained area or on impermeable hard standing with bunding, and that freshly treated timber is stored after treatment under shelter or on impermeable hard standing, or both, to prevent direct losses to soil or water, and that any losses from the application of the product are collected for reuse or disposal.

( 1 )   The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance evaluated. 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.
