When companies apply to get their biocidal active substances approved or have their biocidal products authorised across the whole EU, it is the Biocidal Products Committee that checks them and forms an opinion on the applications. The opinions are then sent to the European Commission which takes the final decision on the applications. 

In this episode, we interview Erik van de Plassche, Chair of ECHA’s Biocidal Products Committee. We focus on the October meeting of the committee which covered, for example, nine cases for Union authorisations. In addition, the committee discussed its future workload, upcoming guidance on analysing alternatives, and several applications for active substance approvals.
