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 reaction mass of N,N-didecyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate (‘DMPAP’) reaction mass of N,N-didecyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate and N,N-didecyl-N-(2-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-N-methylammonium propionate EC No: - CAS No: - 86,1 % w/w dry weight 1 February 2025 31 January 2035 2 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) professional users; (ii) environment: groundwater. 4 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) professional users; (ii) environment: groundwater. (c) for products that may lead to residues in food or feed, it shall be assessed whether new maximum residue levels (MRLs) need to be set or the existing MRLs need to be amended 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 ) , and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that such MRLs are not exceeded; (d) products containing DMPAP are not incorporated in materials and articles intended to come into contact with food that falls within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 4 ) , unless the Commission has established specific limits on the migration of DMPAP into food or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary. ( 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.
