#32026D1113EU repeals extended approval period for cypermethrin in wood-preservative biocides
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision cancels the earlier extension that would have kept cypermethrin approved for use in product-type 8 biocidal products, mainly wood preservatives, until November 2027. The extension is no longer needed because the renewal applicant withdrew its application, and the substance was not renewed under a separate EU decision. Companies making, importing, selling, or using cypermethrin-based wood-preservative biocides should treat the extended approval date as no longer valid. They may need to check product authorisations, supply plans, and alternatives under EU biocides rules.

Key Changes
- Repeals the 2025 decision that postponed the expiry date for cypermethrin approval until 30 November 2027
- Confirms that the extension is no longer valid after the renewal application was withdrawn
- Aligns the approval timeline with the separate EU decision not to renew cypermethrin for product-type 8 biocidal products
Obligations
What this law requires
Do not rely on Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/362 as extending the approval of cypermethrin for use in product-type 8 biocidal products to 30 November 2027, because that decision is repealed.
