Biocidal products may only be marketed and used in Ireland once they are registered with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and are entered on the “Product Register” in accordance with Regulation 20 of Statutory Instrument 427 of 2013.

On 11^thSeptember 2020, the Pesticide Control Division (PCD) of my Department received an application for registration of the sanitiser product referred to, from the company concerned.

When the required application fee was received on 10^thDecember 2020, the application was entered into the PCD application system for processing. However, on 12^thJanuary 2021, the applicant submitted information seeking a significant revision to the proposed product content listed in the application.
