Regulations and procedures

Biocidal products such as rodenticides, insecticides and disinfectants are very useful but they also pose risks to our health and the environment. That is why strict rules apply to the sale and use of biocidal products.

    Making biocidal products available on the market

    Biocidal products that pose a high risk to health are classified as closed-circuit products. They are mainly reserved for professional users. If you want to buy or use closed-circuit biocidal products, you must register online and follow the safety precautions.
