Biocidal products are subject to the EU Biocidal Products Regulation. The active substances used in biocidal products must be included in the EU's review programme for biocidal substances in that product-type and the products containing biocidal active substances must be authorised before making them available on the market. However, not all the requirements of the Regulation come into force immediately, but in many cases only after the transitional periods. Biocidal products containing new active substances must already be approved in advance in accordance with the Biocidal Products Regulation, products containing old active substances will be subject to prior authorisation once the review of the active substance in accordance with the Biocidal Products Regulation has been completed. During the transitional period of the Biocidal Products Regulation, Finland also has a national prior authorisation procedure in accordance with the Chemicals Act (599/2013) for biocidal products belonging to certain product-types. These include wood preservatives, slimicides used in the pulp and paper industries, antifouling products, rodenticides, insecticides and acaricides, and repellents for pest control. Disinfecting biocides, for example, do not yet require prior authorisation before entering the market in Finland, and they must only be granted an authorisation after a few years in accordance with the Biocidal Products Regulation. Applications for prior authorisation are submitted directly to the national authority, in Finland to Tukes. The authorisation may be applied for by a company or its representative with a permanent office in the European Union, Norway or Switzerland. Production tests carried out with biocides, which may cause emissions into the environment, require that a notification be submitted to Tukes.
