Biocides represent a wide range of products e.g. disinfectants, wood preservatives, rodenticides, antifouling agents (on boats), in-can preservatives, used in homes, public places such as hospitals, and industries, to destroy and control viruses, bacteria, algae, moulds, insects, mice or rats. They help inter alia prevent the spread of diseases and food poisoning.
The objective of the 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 Biocide Programme is to attain a harmonised approach in the regulation of biocides in all 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 countries. The 蜂鸟电竞在线入口 is thus working on harmonising the main data requirements for biocides and the methodologies for the interpretation of these data. Current projects deal with harmonising areas such as environmental emission estimations, test methods for biocides and efficacy testing and evaluation. Identifying effective biocide risk reduction measures is becoming another important work item of the 蜂鸟电竞在线入口.

Towards a Sustainable Use of Biocides : Biocides are important and contribute to the protection of humans and animals against infectious diseases. However, biocides are designed to affect living organisms negatively. Even if premarket approval already can deliver a high level of protection, knowledge gaps can still remain. This report describes a common understanding of what sustainable use of biocides could entail and different possible aspects of sustainable use.
