Commentaries: Art. 14abis

For the recognition of a Union authorisation, the same regulations apply as for the recognition of an authorisation from an EU or EFTA Member State, unless the Union authorisations are the subject of an international treaty with the EU.
If the Union authorisations are the subject of an international treaty with the EU, and if the data specified in Article 14b paragraph 3 letter b is accessible to the Notification Authority, the following provisions apply for the recognition of a Union authorisation:
1. An application submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) for the granting, renewal, amendment or withdrawal of a Union authorisation shall be considered to have been submitted to the Notification Authority at the same time.
2. The Notification Authority, in consultation with the assessment authorities, shall take a decision on the application within 30 days after the adoption of a decision by the European Commission; it shall be guided by the European Commission’s decision, having regard to the criteria specified in Article 12 paragraph 2.
If a biocidal product has a UFI, the Notification Authority must be notified at least 30 days before the product is placed on the market for the first time of:
1. the UFI;
2. the information required in connection with the UFI under Annex VIII of the EU CLP Regulation in the electronic format that the Notification Authority specifies.¹
