Biocidal Products Regulation - 'cleaning up the marketplace': Guide to the new regulations covering bio-decontamination claims and processes in Europe.

Applying to all biocidal products, EU regulation 528/2012 Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR)i came into force in September 2013. The regulation is designed to control the selling or 'placing on the market' of biocidal products. It involves the analysis of a biocidal product's performance (efficacy), toxicity, environmental fate and risk during use. This paper aims to summarise some of the key points raised when sourcing BPR approved products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
