Abstract

This Regulation amends Annexes II and III to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 which set out the information requirements for respectively active substances and biocidal products, which an application for approval of an active substance and an application for authorization of a biocidal product need to fulfil. This Regulation modifies the information requirements concerning active substances and biocidal products in order to take into account new methods for generating better information on toxicological properties (such as irritation, neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, etc.), new testing strategies favouring in vitro tests over in vivo tests in order to reduce testing on vertebrate animals and a testing strategy and methods for the determination of endocrine disrupting properties of substances, including short- and long- term toxicity testing on fish, endocrine disruption in fish, toxicity studies for evaluation of consumer safety of active substances that may end up in food or feed.
