Guidance on applications for technical equivalence concerning biocides
The guidance also informs potential applicants about the assessment process conducted by the Agency and the approach used for assessing the technical equivalence of the alternative source of an active substance versus its reference source.
Unlike under the Biocidal Products Directive 98/8/EC (BPD), where technical equivalence was assessed by the Member State competent authority, the assessment of technical equivalence under the BPR will be performed by ECHA for approved active substances. Where considered relevant, the guidance is harmonised with the assessment of technical equivalence for plant protection products under Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009.
