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 Peracetic acid generated from 1,3-diacetyloxypropan-2-yl acetate and hydrogen peroxide IUPAC name: Ethaneperoxoic acid generated from 1,3-diacetyloxypropan-2-yl acetate and hydrogen peroxide EC No: not available CAS No: not available The specification of peracetic acid generated from 1,3-diacetyloxypropan-2-yl acetate and hydrogen peroxide is based on the precursors triacetin and hydrogen peroxide. For triacetin the minimum purity is set to 88,3 % w/w. For hydrogen peroxide, a minimum purity is not applicable, as hydrogen peroxide is always directly produced as an aqueous solution, which is then used as precursor. The range for the pure active substance was set as the global composition. The minimum peracetic acid content is 0,011 % w/w and the maximum peracetic acid content is 4,39 % w/w. 1 February 2027 31 January 2037 2 (1) The authorisation of biocidal products containing peracetic acid generated from 1,3-diacetyloxypropan-2-yl acetate and hydrogen peroxide as an active substance 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 assessment of the active substance; (b) the product assessment pays particular attention to industrial and professional users. ( 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.
