Whereas:

(1) On 27 September 2017, THONHAUSER GmbH submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) an application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013(2) for Union authorisation of the same biocidal product family, as referred to in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named ‘Thonhauser PAA’, of product-types 2, 3 and 4, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application was recorded under case number BC-CN034171-51 in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘the Register’). The application also indicated the application number of the related reference biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’, later authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200(3), recorded in the Register under case number BC-EW057176-14.

(2) The same biocidal product family ‘Thonhauser PAA’ contains peracetic acid as the active substance, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product- types 2, 3 and 4.
