Biocidal products are a special category of products that kill or control harmful organisms: bacteria, microbes, viruses, fungi, rodents, etc. This category includes 22 product types, including drinking water disinfectants, swimming pool disinfectants, wood preservatives, rodenticides, embalming fluids, and many other products.
It is important to note that biocides are also chemical mixtures. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure dual legal compliance in the regulatory process.
Safety data sheets (SDS) are one of the key documents ensuring the proper transfer of information to all participants in the supply chain. SDSs provide information on the composition, hazards, safe use, storage, transport, disposal, health and environmental effects, and first aid measures for a product. The preparation and submission of safety data sheets for biocidal products is carried out in accordance with Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) and Annex II to REACH.
