IT-tools for your applicationAfter preparing an application for authorisation of a biocidal product, the applicant must submit the application via the Register for Biocidal Products (R4BP 3). The application must be composed using EU software called IUCLID 6. The applicant will also need to create a user account through REACH-IT.

Book a meeting with the Danish EPA
In the experience og the Danish EPA, a meeting between the applicant and authority in the planning phase of the application is a constructive way of addressing potential technical og practical problems. Hence the Danish EPA offers to meet with companies that are considering Denmark as rapporteur member state (a national application under the BPR), or plan to submit a dossier for a new active substance and are considering Denmark as evaluating authority.
