Transitional authorisations (AN/AC)
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.
Transitional regulation
When the European Commission takes a decision to approve the last notified active substance of a biocidal product (included in the Lists of Annex 1 or 2), then the authorisation holder of an AN authorisation, in order to be able to seamlessly market its biocidal product, must submit, by at the latest the date of inclusion of this active substance, an application to the Notification Authority Chemicals following the European harmonised procedure.
