COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/1672
of 13 June 2024
granting a Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk QL 90’ in accordance with
Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
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 2012concerning
the making available on the market and use of biocidal products(1), and in particular Article 44(5), first subparagraph,
thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 18 July 2018, Nordkalk Oy Ab submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) 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 single biocidal product, as referred to in
Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013, named ‘Nordkalk QL 90’, of product-types 2 and 3, as
described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The application was recorded under case number
BC-RY041435-05 in the Register for Biocidal Products. The application also indicated the case number of the
related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA oxi-lime 23’ later authorised by Commission Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2023/2703(3), recorded in that register under case number BC-VJ038509-19.
(2) The single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk QL 90’ contains calcium oxide/lime/burnt lime/quicklime 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 and 3.
(3) On 6 September 2022, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion(4) and the draft summary of the
biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Nordkalk QL 90’ in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing
Regulation (EU) No 414/2013.
(4) In its opinion, the Agency concludes that the proposed differences between the single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk QL
90’ and the related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA oxi-lime 23’ are limited to information which can be the
subject of an administrative change in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU)
No 354/2013(5), and that based on the assessment of the related reference single biocidal product ‘EuLA oxi-lime
23’ and subject to compliance with the draft SPC, the same single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk QL 90’ meets the
conditions laid down in Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 414/2013 of 6 May 2013 specifying a procedure for the authorisation of same
biocidal products in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 125,
7.5.2013, p. 4, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2013/414/oj).
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2703 of 4 December 2023 granting a Union authorisation for the single biocidal
product ‘EuLA oxi-lime 23’ in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L,
2023/2703, 05.12.2023, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2023/2703/oj).

QL 90’, https://echa.europa.eu/opinions-on-union-authorisation.
(5) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013 of 18 April 2013 on changes of biocidal products authorised in accordance
with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 109, 19.4.2013, p. 4, ELI:

(5) On 22 January 2024, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised draft SPCs of ‘Nordkalk QL 90’ in all
the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(6) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union
authorisation for the same single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk QL 90’.
(7) The expiry date of this authorisation is aligned to the expiry date of the authorisation of the related reference single
biocidal product ‘EuLA oxi-lime 23’.
(8) 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
A Union authorisation with authorisation number EU-0029368-0000 is hereby granted to Nordkalk Oy Ab for the making
available on the market and use of the same single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk QL 90’ in accordance with the summary of
the biocidal product characteristics set out in the Annex.
The Union authorisation is valid from 4 July 2024until 30 November 2033.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the
