Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/1992 of 20 October 2022 approving Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 19 in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance)

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 89(1), third subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014⁽²⁾ establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents.
Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents has been evaluated for use in biocidal products of product-type 19, repellents and attractants, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council⁽³⁾, which corresponds to product-type 19 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
Spain was designated as the rapporteur Member State and its evaluating competent authority submitted the assessment report together with its conclusions to the Commission on 1 September 2010. After the submission of the assessment report, discussions took place in technical meetings organised by the Commission and, after 1 September 2013, by the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’).
It follows from Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 that substances for which the Member States’ evaluation has been completed by 1 September 2013 are to be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of Directive 98/8/EC.
In accordance with Article 75(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Biocidal Products Committee prepares the opinion of the Agency regarding the applications for approval of active substances. In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the Biocidal Products Committee adopted the opinion of the Agency⁽⁴⁾ on 3 December 2021, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.
According to that opinion the biocidal products of product-type 19 containing Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5(1), points (b), (c) and (d), of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that requirements concerning their use are complied with.
Taking into account the opinion of the Agency, it is appropriate to approve Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 19 subject to compliance with certain conditions.
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium extract from open and mature flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium obtained with hydrocarbon solvents is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 19 subject to the conditions set out in the Annex.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 20 October 2022.
