(Text with EEA relevance)

Preamble

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products ¹ , and in particular Article 50(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 18 October 2023, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2183 ² granted a Union authorisation, under number EU-0028964-0000, to Evonik Operations GmbH for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family’. The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the summary of product characteristics for that biocidal product family.

(2) On 10 July 2024 and 20 March 2025, Evonik Operations GmbH submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 ³ , notifications of administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family’, recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘Register’) under the case numbers BC-DY098630-08 and BC-ER104958-18. The notified proposed changes to that authorisation concern the removal and addition of trade names, the removal and addition of product manufacturers, changes in the names of active substance and product manufacturer and a change in the address of a product manufacturer.

(3) On 29 July 2024 and 3 April 2025, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, opinions ⁴ on the notified administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family’. In its opinions, the Agency concluded that the proposed changes are administrative changes as referred to in Article 50(3), point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified in Title 1, Sections 1 and 2 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that, after the implementation of the changes, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.

(4) On 10 April 2025, the Agency transmitted to the Commission a revised summary of product characteristics for the biocidal product family ‘Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family’ in all official languages of the Union, covering the administrative changes applied for, in accordance with Article 11(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.

(5) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family ‘Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family’ to introduce the administrative changes requested by Evonik Operations GmbH.

(6) Except for the amendments regarding the proposed administrative changes, all other information included in the summary of product characteristics of ‘Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide Product Family’, as set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2183, remains unchanged.

(7) In order to enhance clarity and to ease the access of users and interested parties to the consolidated version of the summary of product characteristics which is to be published by the Agency, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2183 should be replaced in its entirety. Due to a change in the format used for the generation of the summary of product characteristics in the Register in February 2024, the summary of product characteristics in that Annex should also include some minor editorial and layout changes.

(8) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2183 should therefore be amended accordingly,

Surface disinfection by vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VHP) process

4.1.1. Use-specific instructions for use

The area to disinfect is prepared for decontamination by removing standing liquid and by wiping down any visible dirt. Clean the area before disinfection. Cupboard doors should be opened, surfaces should be dried and wet areas (such as sinks) should be disinfected with suitable alternative products.

Specially trained professionals replace the cap of the sealed packaging with a special cap that has a degassing valve and a fast connector. The fast connector is connected to a pipe that connects to the VHP generator. Seal the enclosed space or room and make sure that access to the vapour-treated area is denied during the whole procedure.

Room volume ranging from 30 m 3 to 150 m 3 .

Diffusion speed can vary from 1,5 to 20 g product /minute.

Starting temperature of 20 °C, ± 2 °C.

Relative humidity between 40 and 80 %.

During the disinfection cycle the VHP generator adjusts the hydrogen peroxide concentration up to the effective levels of 1 092 mg/m 3 (780 ppm) and keeps it at this level for at least 4 hours. Concentration of hydrogen peroxide is monitored during the disinfection. After disinfection the aeration of the sealed area is required to reduce the concentration of hydrogen peroxide below 1,25 mg/m 3 or a lower relevant national reference value before entering the area. This step can be quick but can also last several hours resulting in a total decontamination cycle of 5 - 8 hours.

The user shall always carry out a microbiological validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable ‘standard room’, if applicable) with the devices to be used, after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter. In the event that there are methods available for chemically monitoring the active substance in the air or on surfaces, chemical validation should be performed besides biological validation, for example with test strips or with a device that measures ppm hydrogen peroxide in the air.

When it concerns a ‘standard room’ for which a protocol is available, the validation may be limited to only a chemical validation.

4.1.2. Use-specific risk mitigation measures

Wear chemical resistant goggles consistent with European Standard EN 16321 or equivalent, protective clothing chemically resistant to the biocidal products, chemical resistant gloves classified under European Standard EN 374 or equivalent, face shield and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) (Assigned Protection Factor (APF) = 10) during mixing and loading. Gloves and coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information. See section 6 for the full titles of the EN standards.

This is without prejudice to the application of Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work. See section 6 for the full reference to Council Directive 98/24/EC.

No access to the treated area is permitted during treatment. During aeration and before permitting re-entry to the treated area it should be checked that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is below 1,25 mg/m 3 or a lower relevant national reference value, using for example test strips. During the operation of the VHP generator or in the event of malfunctions, entry to the room is only possible if wearing chemical protective suits and RPE (APF = 10), when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is at or below 12,5 mg/m 3 . Observe label instructions.
