THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes IPBC.

(2) IPBC has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council for use in product-type 13, metalworking-fluid preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 13, as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3) Denmark was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment report, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 23 August 2013 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.

(4) In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 3 December 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

(5) According to that opinion, biocidal products used for product-type 13 and containing IPBC may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC provided that certain conditions concerning its use are complied with.

(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve IPBC for use in biocidal products for product-type 13 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

(7) Since IPBC meets the criteria for classification as skin sensitiser category 1 as defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, treated articles treated with or incorporating IPBC should be appropriately labelled when placed on the market.

(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

IPBC is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 13, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
