Mutual recognition authorisation – consecutive

Consecutive mutual recognition of the national permit for a biocidal product is an act when an applicant wants to apply in one or several Member States for authorisation when another member country has already issued an authorisation.

The application should be submitted through the R4BP 3 system of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

For the issue of the authorisation, the biocidal product must fulfil the conditions with regard to appropriate features, must be appropriately labelled and have an appropriate safety sheet.

The application must also contain the translation of the national authorisation. Upon receipt of the application, the competent authority notifies the applicant on the amount, method and deadline for payment of the fee. Fees are determined in item 3 of the Annex to the Decree implementing Regulations (EU) concerning availability in the market and use of biocidal products. The fee amounts EUR 2,500 per individual biocidal product or EUR 3,700 for the family of biocidal products.
