| Summary: | "In Europe, Regulation No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and the Council1 outlines the important aspects of the use of biocidal products and governs principles of introduction of new products to the market. Biocidal products should neither be made available on the market nor used unless authorized in accordance with this Regulation. Articles should not be placed on the market unless all active substances contained in the biocidal products with which they were treated or which they incorporate are approved in accordance with this Regulation. Annex V. BIOCIDAL PRODUCT-TYPES AND THEIR DESCRIPTIONS divides all biocides into four main groups, including 22 types of biocides as follows. MAIN GROUP 1: Disinfectants These product types exclude cleaning products that are not intended to have a biocidal effect, including washing liquids, powders, and similar products. Product-type 1: Human hygiene Products in this group are biocidal products used for human hygiene purposes, applied on or in contact with human skin or scalps for the primary purpose of disinfecting the skin or scalp. Product-type 2: Disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals Products used for the disinfection of surfaces, materials, equipment and furniture which are not used for direct contact with food or feeding stuffs. Usage areas include, inter alia, swimming pools, aquariums, bathing and other waters; air conditioning systems; and walls and floors in private, public, and industrial areas and in other areas for professional activities. Products used for disinfection of air, water not used for human or animal consumption, chemical toilets, waste water, hospital waste and soil. Products used as algaecides for treatment of swimming pools, aquariums and other waters and for remedial treatment of construction materials. Products used to be incorporated in textiles, tissues, masks, paints, and other articles or materials with the purpose of producing treated articles with disinfecting properties. Product-type 3: Veterinary hygiene Products used for veterinary hygiene purposes such as disinfectants, disinfecting soaps, oral or corporal hygiene products or with anti-microbial function. Products used to disinfect the materials and surfaces associated with the housing or transportation of animals. Product-type 4: Food and feed area Products used for the disinfection of equipment, containers, consumption utensils, surfaces, or pipework associated with the production, transport, storage, or consumption of food or feed (including drinking water) for humans and animals. Products used to impregnate materials that may enter into contact with food. Product-type 5: Drinking water Products used for the disinfection of drinking water for both humans and animals. MAIN GROUP 2: Preservatives Unless otherwise stated, these product types include only products to prevent microbial and algal development. Product type 6: Preservatives for products during storage (in-can preservatives) Products used for the preservation of manufactured products, other than foodstuffs, feedingstuffs, cosmetics or medicinal products or medical devices by the control of microbial deterioration to ensure their shelf life. Product type 7: Film preservatives Products used for the preservation of films or coatings by the control of microbial deterioration or algal growth in order to protect the initial properties of the surface of materials or objects such as paints, plastics, sealants, wall adhesives, binders, papers, art works. Product type 8: Wood preservatives Products used for the preservation of wood, from and including the saw-mill stage, or wood products by the control of wood-destroying or wood-disfiguring organisms, including insects. This product type includes both preventive and curative products. Product type 9: Fibre, leather, rubber, and polymerized materials preservatives Products used for the preservation of fibrous or polymerized materials, such as leather, rubber or paper or textile products by the control of microbiological deterioration. This product type includes biocidal products which antagonize the settlement of micro-organisms on the surface of materials and therefore hamper or prevent the development of odor and/or offer other kinds of benefits. Product type 10: Construction material preservatives Products used for the preservation of masonry, composite materials, or other construction materials other than wood by the control of microbiological and algal attacks. Product type 11: Preservatives for liquid-cooling and processing systems Products used for the preservation of water or other liquids used in cooling and processing systems by the control of harmful organisms such as microbes, algae, and mussels. Products used for the disinfection of drinking water or of water for swimming pools are not included in this product type. Product-type 12: Slimicides Products used for the prevention or control of slime growth on materials, equipment and structures, used in industrial processes, e.g. on wood and paper pulp, porous sand strata in oil extraction. Product type 13: Working or cutting fluid preservatives Products to control microbial deterioration in fluids used for working or cutting metal, glass, or other materials. MAIN GROUP 3: Pest control Product type 14: Rodenticides Products used for the control of mice, rats, or other rodents by means other than repulsion or attraction. Product type 15: Avicides Products used for the control of birds, by means other than repulsion or attraction. Product type 16: Molluscicides, vermicides, and products to control other invertebrates Products used for the control of molluscs, worms, and invertebrates not covered by other product types, by means other than repulsion or attraction. Product type 17: Piscicides Products used for the control of fish by means other than repulsion or attraction. Product type 18: Insecticides, acaricides, and products to control other arthropods Products used for the control of arthropods (e.g. insects, arachnids, and crustaceans) by means other than repulsion or attraction. Product type 19: Repellents and attractants Products used to control harmful organisms (invertebrates such as fleas, vertebrates such as birds, fish, rodents), by repelling or attracting, including those that are used for human or veterinary hygiene either directly on the skin or indirectly in the environment of humans or animals. Product type 20: Control of other vertebrates Products used for the control of vertebrates other than those already covered by the other product types of this main group by means other than repulsion or attraction. MAIN GROUP 4: Other biocidal products Product type 21: Antifouling products Products used to control the growth and settlement of fouling organisms (microbes and higher forms of plant or animal species) on vessels, aquaculture equipment, or other structures used in water. Product type 22: Embalming and taxidermist fluids Products used for the disinfection and preservation of human or animal corpses or parts thereof. This book contains data on biocides that belong to the Main Group 2, 3, and part of 4. Pest control and Other. Each section of the group from 6 to 21 is presented in a separate chapter. Considering that no biocide can be used in the European Union unless it is present on the Article 95 list, the most recently updated list was used to include biocides in this book.2 The substances are arranged in alphabetical order and classified into types and groups according to the suggestions in Annex V.1 Biocides are included in the Main groups 2, 3 and 4 are divided into the following groups: MAIN GROUP 2 Product type 6: Preservatives for products during storage (known as in-can preservatives) Product type 7: Film preservatives Product type 8: Wood preservatives Product type 9: Fibre, leather, rubber, and polymerized materials preservatives Product type 10: Construction material preservatives Product type 11: Preservatives for liquid-cooling and processing systems Product type 12: Slimicides Product type 13: Working or cutting fluid preservatives MAIN GROUP 3 Product type 14: Rodenticides Product type 15: Avicides Product type 16: Molluscicides, vermicides, and products to control other invertebrates (not included because of lack of products in Article 95) Product type 17: Piscicides Product type 18: Insecticides, acaricides, and products to control other arthropods Product type 19: Repellents and attractants Product type 20: Control of other vertebrates MAIN GROUP 4: Other biocidal products Product type 21: Antifouling products The information in the table is divided into five sections, including General, Physical properties, Health and safety, Ecological, and Use. The contents of these five sections are given below. General section contains the following fields: product name, CAS #, EC number, acronym, chemical name, chemical synonym, chemical formula, molecular weight, chemical class, moisture contents, bioorigin, mixture, product contents, RTECS #, and whether used in US and/or Europe.
