thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 31 January 2017, Kanters Special Products B.V. submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the
Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, for Union authorisation of the single
biocidal product ‘Aqua-Clean’ of product-types 2, 3 and 4, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing
written confirmation that the competent authority of the Netherlands had agreed to evaluate the application. The
application was recorded under case number BC-PT029767-00 in the Register for Biocidal Products.
(2) ‘Aqua-Clean’ contains hydrogen peroxide 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.
