of 14 September 2026

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/964 as regards administrative and minor changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’

(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 10 June 2022, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/964 ² granted a Union authorisation, under authorisation number EU-0026179-0000, to SOPURA N.V for the making available on the market and use of the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’. The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the summary of product characteristics for that biocidal product family.

(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 ³ lays down the procedural rules for the different categories of changes referred to in Article 50(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3) On 6 August 2025, SOPURA N.V submitted a notification and an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) and Article 12(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, for administrative and minor changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’, as referred to in Title 2 of the Annex to that Implementing Regulation. The application was recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products under case number BC-SD109458-37. The proposed minor change to the authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’ concerns the removal of the classification as flammable liquid 3 of products in meta SPC 4. The proposed administrative changes to that authorisation concern an amendment to the name and address of the authorisation holder, an amendment to the office address of one biocidal product manufacturer, amendments to the name and office address of one active substance manufacturer and an amendment to the address of one manufacturing location of the active substance.

(4) On 11 February 2026, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 12(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an opinion ⁴ on the notified and applied administrative and minor changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’ together with a revised SPC and a revised assessment report. The opinion concludes that the proposed changes are administrative and minor changes as referred to in Article 3(1), points (aa) and (ab), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified in Titles 1 and 2 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that, after the implementation of the changes recommended by the Agency, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.

(5) On 27 February 2026, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised summary of the product characteristics of the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’ in all official languages of the Union, covering the administrative and minor changes recommended by the Agency, in accordance Article 12(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.

(6) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘SOPUROXID’ to introduce the administrative and minor changes recommended by the Agency.

(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) 2022/964 should be replaced in its entirety.

(8) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/964 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 1

5.1. Instructions for use

1. All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure

5.2. Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection :

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

5.3. Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two theoretical products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4. Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5. Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place. Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition.

5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 3

5.1. Instructions for use

1. All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure

5.2. Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection:

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

5.3. Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4. Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5. Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition

The shelf life of the biocidal product is 6 months.

The products must be stored at temperatures below +30 °C.

5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 4

5.1. Instructions for use

1. All the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure.

5.2. Risk mitigation measures

Dermal protection:

Wear protective chemical resistant gloves during product handling phase (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

A protective coverall which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

5.3. Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Indirect effects

The two products are oxidising agents and reactive. In case of thermal decomposition steam and oxygen will be released as decomposition products. The release of oxygen may support combustion.

Also, contact with impurities, decomposition catalysts, metallic salts, alkalis, reducing agents may lead to self-accelerated, exothermic decomposition and the formation of oxygen.

In case of decomposition of the products in confined spaces and pipers, there is a risk of overpressure and burst.

First aid measures

General advice

Move out of dangerous area.

Take care of your own personal safety.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Inhalation

Take affected persons out into the fresh air.

Possible discomfort: Irritates skin and mucous linings of the eyes and respiratory tract and cough.

If breathing difficulties occur (e.g. severe continual coughing): Keep patient half sitting with upper body raised; keep warm and in a quiet place; call a physician immediately.

Skin contact

After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.

Consult a physician.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Immediately rinse contaminated or saturated clothing with water.

Eye contact

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Protect unharmed eye.

Continue rinsing process with eye rinsing solution.

Call ambulance (caustic burn of the eyes)

Immediate further treatment in ophthalmic hospital/ophthalmologist.

Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting.

Danger of penetration of the lungs (danger to breathing) when swallowed or vomited, due to gas evolution and foam formation.

Only when patient fully conscious: have the mouth rinsed with water; have the patient drink plenty of water in small sips; keep patient warm and at rest.

Notify ambulance immediately (key word: acid burn).

Notes to physician

Therapy as for chemical burn.

Following inhalation:

Formation of a toxic lung oedema is possible if product continues to be inhaled despite acute irritative effect (e.g. if it is not possible to leave the danger area).

Prophylaxis of a toxic lung oedema with inhalative steroids (dosing spray, e.g. auxilosone).

If substance has been swallowed:

Aspiration hazard.

Risk of gaseous embolisms.

In case of excessive strain on the stomach due to gas evolution, insert siphon tube.

Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear.

If necessary, suck away leftover substance.

Do not administer activated charcoal, since risk of release of large amounts of gas from hydrogen peroxide.

Emergency measures to protect the environment

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (collect, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow to run into water channels, surface water or into the ground.

Methods for cleaning up

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly; recommended cleaning agent is water.

In case of small spills, dilute product with lots of water and rinse away or absorb product with liquid-binding material, e.g. chemi-sorption, diatomaceous earth, universal binder. Do not use textiles, saw dust, combustible substances. After binding, pick up mechanically and collect in suitable containers. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations.

Additional advice

Make safe or remove all sources of ignition.

Isolate defective containers immediately, if possible and safe to do.

Shut off leak, if possible and safe to do.

Place defective containers in waste receptacle (waste packaging receptacle) made of plastic (not metal).

Do not seal defective containers or waste receptacles airtight (danger of bursting due to product decomposition).

Product taken out should not be returned into container.

Never return spilled product into its original container for re-use (risk of decomposition).

5.4. Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets…) nor down the drains

Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5. Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Keep only in the original packaging tightly closed in a cool and well-ventilated place. Keep products away from direct sunlight, source of heat and ignition

The shelf life of the biocidal product is 6 months.

The products must be stored at Ambient Temperature.
