**: New active substance. There is no deadline for the submission of product applications, but the product must not be placed on the market in Denmark until it has been authorised by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.

See the list of all biocidal product groups here.

See Annex 3 to the Danish Statutory Order on pesticides (at retsinfo.dk)

More information

In order for a product to be permitted to remain on the market in Denmark, the deadline for submission of an application is the date of the active substance’s formal inclusion in Annex I. If a product contains several active substances, the deadline for the product is based on the date of inclusion of the most recently included active substance. Formal inclusion of the active substance takes place approximately two years after the substance is included in Annex I, giving enterprises about two years to submit an application for authorisation of their products which contain the active substance.
