General information on transitional authorisations AN
An application for a transitional authorisation can be made only for biocidal products that contain at least one notified active substance, for which a decision on inclusion in the lists in Annex 1 or 2 of the Ordinance on Biocidal Products (OBP; SR 813.12) is still outstanding.
If the biocidal product contains only active substances in the lists in Annex 1 or Annex 2 of the Ordinance on Biocidal Products, then an application for this biocidal product must be submitted using the European harmonised procedure. For the biocidal product that is on the Swiss market with a transitional authorisation the following transitional regulations apply.
