[Linked in] September 30th: K-BPR : who is obligated to be approved for the biocides?

Hello everyone!

Today, we will look at the subject of ‘who is obligated to be approved for the biocides?’

Since biocidal products (hereinafter, BP) are approved after the approval of the biocidal active substance (hereinafter, AS), it can be difficult to clarify who is subjected to approve the AS and who is subjected to the BP during the entire approval process.
Are the manufacturer and importer (including OR) of AS not obliged to be approved for the BP? Conversely, are the manufacturer and importer of BP not obligated to be approved for the AS?
 
The clarification of the person who is obligated to be approved according to the K-BPR is as follows.
Persons who manufacture and import the BP (including the appointment of OR) must proceed with approval of the AS because they must treat approved AS in products as raw materials.

Conversely, if the AS is used for 'removal of harmful organisms, etc.' in general consumer products other than BP such as toothbrushes and clothing products, the AS is regarded as a substance and a BP simultaneously, so the manufacturer and importer of the AS should be approved for the BP approval as well.
