#32026R1337EU authorises Ecolab Glut Family biocidal products
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The regulation grants EU-wide authorisation for Ecolab Deutschland GmbH to place the “Ecolab Glut Family” biocidal product family on the market and allow its use for approved product types. The products contain glutaraldehyde and are used in areas such as preservation and industrial water systems, subject to the conditions set out in the product authorisation documents. Businesses that manufacture, distribute, or use these products can rely on a single Union authorisation instead of separate national approvals, but they must follow the approved product characteristics, use conditions, and safety requirements. Because glutaraldehyde is a substance flagged for possible substitution, users should also expect continued scrutiny and should monitor safer alternatives where relevant.
