AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation grants a 10-year Union-wide authorisation (EU-0029989-0000) to CID LINES NV for the biocidal product family 'CHLOROCRESOL BASED PRODUCTS' containing 0.49–24.9% chlorocresol as the active substance. The authorisation covers product types 2 (disinfectants and algaecides) and 3 (veterinary hygiene). It authorises multiple uses including surface disinfection and veterinary applications, but excludes use #7.4 due to identified risks to human health and the environment. The Commission confirmed that chlorocresol does not fall under pesticide MRL rules and poses no dietary risk for consumers even when residues slightly exceed 0.01 mg/kg in animal-origin products.
