Biocidal Products Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 (S.I. No. 422 of 2001).

These Regulations have effect with a view, first, to enabling applications to be made for agreement at Community level that an active substance can be used in a biocidal product and, secondly, to authorizing the placing on the market and use of biocidal products to which these Regulations apply. A person shall not place on the market a new active substance for use in a biocidal product unless an application to the Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland or, under the Great Britain Regulations, to the Ministers, or to a competent authority of a member State of the Communities other than the United Kingdom has been made for inclusion of that new active substance in Annex I, IA or IB of the BP Directive.
