Valuable insights from European authorities and industry

In this webinar, experts from the European Commission’s DG Sante, Echa, the French ecology ministry and Cefic’s European Biocidal Products Forum will give updates, reasoning and overviews of BPR-related emergency measures relating to the coronavirus pandemic.

Specifically, the webinar will explore the use of emergency derogations under Article 55 of the BPR to help ensure the availability of disinfectants to combat Covid-19. It will also cover some of the biggest challenges facing the biocides supply chain, and take a closer look at some of the derogation measures that the French competent authority has adopted.

In addition, the webinar will look at the following topics:

• how to maintain the supply of disinfectants that are effective against Covid-19;
• the European Commission and Echa’s response to the coronavirus emergency; and
• implementation of covid-related BPR derogation by the French competent authority (PT1 derogation, article 95 derogation, general rather than multiple individual, product specific derogations & other disinfectants PT2/4).
