The UK government is in advanced negotiations with the EU on a proposed SPS agreement.
If you work with biocides and an agreement is reached, you are likely to see changes to the rules you must follow. This includes active substance approvals and biocidal product authorisations.
You can find out more about the proposed agreement in the GOV.UK news story: UK-EU SPS Agreement - Information for Businesses.
Please check this page regularly, as we will update it when more information becomes available.
We will also include information about the agreement in our eBulletin.
