Article 5
1. Within 90 days of receipt of the assessment report and the draft summary of biocidal product characteristics, and subject to Article 6, the Member States concerned shall agree on the summary of biocidal product characteristics, with the exception, where relevant, of the differences referred to in Article 1(3)(a), and shall record their agreement in the Register for Biocidal Products. The reference Member State shall enter the agreed summary of biocidal product characteristics and the final assessment report in the Register for Biocidal Products, together with any agreed terms or conditions imposed on the making available on the market or use of the biocidal product or biocidal product family. 2. Within 30 days of reaching agreement, the reference Member State and each of the Member States concerned shall renew the authorisations in conformity with the agreed summary of biocidal product characteristics. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 23(6) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the authorisation shall be renewed for a maximum period of 10 years. 3. Without prejudice to Article 7, where no agreement is reached within 90 days, each Member State that agrees to the summary of biocidal product characteristics referred to in paragraph 1 may renew the authorisation accordingly. 4. Where, for reasons beyond the control of the holder of an authorisation, no decision is taken on the renewal of that authorisation before its expiry, the respective competent authority shall grant a renewal for the period necessary to complete the evaluation.
