This amendment included minor alterations to 2 definitions for the ‘first review regulation’ and ‘new active substance’. It also introduced the General Industry Charge (GIC, specifying who must pay the GIC, how and by when they must notify their liability and how the amount is calculated.
This amendment corrected an error in the BPR in relation to the GIC that had meant that those companies who should have been liable as they placed biocidal products onto the UK market could not legally be charged the GIC.
These amendments activated the requirements in BPR and BPR NI that relate to advertising - as laid down in regulation 33 of the BPR.
Previously, products were exempt from the advertising requirements until they were authorised under the BPR. However, since 6 April 2007 Companies must comply with the requirements for advertising for their biocidal products. This applies to all product types that fall under the remit of the BPD.
The advertising requirements do not apply to the packaging and labelling of biocidal products. There are specific requirements for packaging and labelling laid down in regulations 30 and 31 of BPR and these do not come into force until products are authorised under BPR.
