COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION(EU) 2026/104
of 8 December 2025
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200 as regards administrative and minor changes to
the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’
(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 2012 concerning
the making available on the market and use of biocidal products(1), and in particular Article 50(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 21 June 2023, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200(2)granted a Union authorisation, under
number EU-0028970-0000, to Rigest Trading (Ireland) Limited for the making available on the market and use of
the biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’. The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the
summary of product characteristics for that biocidal product family.
(2) On 10 June 2024, 20 January 2025 and 22 May 2025, Rigest Trading (Ireland) Limited submitted to the European
Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU)
No 354/2013(3), notifications of administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family
‘Airedale PAA product family’, as referred to in Title 1 of the Annex to that Regulation. The notifications were
recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘the Register’) under case numbers BC-VD095755-21,
BC-BW102483-30 and BC-MN106033-46. The notified proposed changes to that authorisation concern the
addition of trade names for the biocidal product family.
(3) On 8 November 2024, Rigest Trading (Ireland) Limited submitted to the Agency, in accordance with Article 12(1) of
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an application for minor changes to the Union authorisation for the
biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’, as referred to in Title 2 of the Annex to that Regulation. The
application was recorded in the Register under case number BC-JD101082-71. The proposed changes to that
authorisation concern the splitting of two meta-SPCs, the related extension of the shelf life and a reduction in
contact time and in-use concentration.
(4) On 19 July 2024, 29 January 2025 and 14 July 2025, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with
Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, opinions(4)on the notified administrative changes to
the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’, together with a revised
summary of the biocidal product characteristics. In the opinions, the Agency concludes that the proposed changes
are administrative changes as referred to in Article 50(3), point (a), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified
in Title 1, Section 1, of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that, after the implementation
of the changes, the conditions of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.

(5) On 7 May 2025, the Agency submitted, in accordance with Article 12(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU)
No 354/2013, an opinion(5) on the applied minor changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product
family ‘Airedale PAA product family’ together with a revised summary of the biocidal product characteristics and a
revised assessment report. The opinion concludes that the proposed changes are minor changes as referred to in
Article 50(3), point (b), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 and as specified in Title 2 of the Annex to Implementing
Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, and that after the implementation of the changes, the conditions of Article 19 of
Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 will still be met.
(6) On 14 July 2025, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the revised summary of the biocidal product
characteristics of the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’ in all official
languages of the Union, covering all the administrative changes and minor changes applied for, in accordance with
Article 11(6) and Article 12(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013.
(7) The Commission concurs with the opinions of the Agency and therefore considers it appropriate to amend the Union
authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘Airedale PAA product family’ to introduce the administrative and minor
changes requested by Rigest Trading (Ireland) Limited.
(8) Except for the amendments regarding the administrative and minor changes, all other information included in the
summary of the biocidal product characteristics of ‘Airedale PAA product family’ as set out in the Annex to
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200 remains unchanged.
(9) In order to enhance clarity and to ease the access of users and interested parties to the consolidated version of the
summary of the biocidal product characteristics which is to be published by the Agency, the Annex to Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2023/1200 should be replaced in its entirety. Due to a change in the format used for the generation
of the summary of biocidal product characteristics in the Register in February 2024, the summary of biocidal product
characteristics in that Annex should also include some minor editorial and layout changes.
(10) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1200 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Union.

5.1. Instructions for use
Disinfection cycle (for surface disinfection ONLY):
— the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure, and the user must thoroughly
clean, rinse and drain the cleaning liquids from the surfaces to be disinfected;
— products must be diluted in potable water before use.
Dilution rate and contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method
related to each use.
— Disinfection procedures by CIP:
— final rinsing step (with potable water).
After the disinfection procedure, CIP vessels (pipework and tanks) are drained and rinsed with water under closed
system conditions
— Disinfection procedures by dipping:
— the solution shall not be re-used.
Use only once a day after production and replace it with a fresh solution daily.
— Disinfection procedures by spraying:
— wet the surface completely
(application rate > 20 ml/m2 but maximum 100ml/m2) in order to keep the surface wet during the
required contact time.
— do not use equipment until product is completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.
5.2. Risk mitigation measures
— Wear chemical goggles consistent with European Standard EN 16321 or equivalent, protective clothing
chemically resistant to the biocidal product, and chemical resistant gloves classified under European Standard
EN 374 or equivalent. Goggles, protective clothing and glove material (preferably butyl rubber) to be specified

5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF THE META SPC 2
5.1. Instructions for use
Disinfection cycle (for surface disinfection ONLY):
— the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure, and the user must thoroughly
clean, rinse and drain the cleaning liquids from the surfaces to be disinfected;
— products must be diluted in potable water before use.
Dilution rate and contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method
related to each use.
— Disinfection procedures by CIP:
— final rinsing step (with potable water).
After the disinfection procedure, CIP vessels (pipework and tanks) are drained and rinsed with water under closed
system conditions
— Disinfection procedures by dipping:
— the solution shall not be re-used.
Use only once a day after production and replace it with a fresh solution daily.
— Disinfection procedures by spraying:
— wet the surface completely
(application rate > 20 ml/m2 but maximum 100ml/m2) in order to keep the surface wet during the
required contact time.
— do not use equipment until product is completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.
5.2. Risk mitigation measures
— Wear chemical goggles consistent with European Standard EN 16321 or equivalent, protective clothing
chemically resistant to the biocidal product, and chemical resistant gloves classified under European Standard
EN 374 or equivalent. Goggles, protective clothing and glove material (preferably butyl rubber) to be specified
by the authorisation holder within the product information. This is without prejudice to the application of
Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work. See section
6 for the full titles of the EN standards and legislation.
— Use with adequate ventilation: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit
requirements or guidelines. Atmospheric levels shall be maintained below the exposure guideline. For all
wiping and spraying application, a ventilation rate of at least 10 air changes/hour is required in the rooms
where the application takes place.
— When respiratory protection is required (that is when the concentration of PAA and/or hydrogen peroxide are
above their respective Acute Exposure Concentration (AEC)inhalation (0,5 mg/m3 and 1,25 mg/m3
respectively), use an approved air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air respirator depending on the
potential airborne concentration.
— Do not use equipment and surfaces or allow animals/poultry to enter the treated area until product is
completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.
— Keep out of reach of children and non-target animals and pets.
— Re-entrance into treated area is only allowed once the levels of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide in the air
are below the AEC inhalation (respectively 0,5 mg/m3for PAA & 1,25 mg/m3for hydrogen peroxide)
— No bystanders are allowed in treated area during the application phase.

5.1. Instructions for use
Disinfection cycle (for surface disinfection ONLY):
— the surfaces to be disinfected must be cleaned before the disinfection procedure, and the user must thoroughly
clean, rinse and drain the cleaning liquids from the surfaces to be disinfected;
— products must be diluted in potable water before use.
Dilution rate and contact time depends on the use considered. Please refer to the description of application method
related to each use.
— Disinfection procedures by CIP:
— final rinsing step (with potable water).
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/104/oj 67/71EN
OJ L, 16.1.2026
After the disinfection procedure, CIP vessels (pipework and tanks) are drained and rinsed with water under closed
system conditions
— Disinfection procedures by dipping:
— the solution shall not be re-used.
Use only once a day after production and replace it with a fresh solution daily.
— Disinfection procedures by spraying:
— wet the surface completely (application rate > 20 ml/m2but maximum 100ml/m2) in order to keep the
surface wet during the required contact time.
— do not use equipment until product is completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.
For PT3 uses:
— do not use equipment and surfaces or allow animals/poultry to enter the treated area until product is
completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.
— the products shall not be used for the disinfection of animal transport vehicles.
5.2. Risk mitigation measures
— Wear chemical goggles consistent with European Standard EN 16321 or equivalent, protective clothing
chemically resistant to the biocidal product, and chemical resistant gloves classified under European Standard
EN 374 or equivalent. Goggles, protective clothing and glove material (preferably butyl rubber) to be specified
by the authorisation holder within the product information. This is without prejudice to the application of
Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work. See section
6 for the full titles of the EN standards and legislation.
— Use with adequate ventilation: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit
requirements or guidelines. Atmospheric levels shall be maintained below the exposure guideline. For all
wiping and spraying application, a ventilation rate of at least 10 air changes/hour is required in the rooms
where the application takes place.
— When respiratory protection is required (that is when the concentration of PAA and/or hydrogen peroxide are
above their respective Acute Exposure Concentration (AEC)inhalation (0,5 mg/m3 and 1,25 mg/m3
respectively), use an approved air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air respirator depending on the
potential airborne concentration.
— Do not use equipment and surfaces or allow animals/poultry to enter the treated area until product is
completely absorbed to the surface or air dried.
— Keep out of reach of children and non-target animals and pets.
— Re-entrance into treated area is only allowed once the levels of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide in the air
are below the AEC inhalation (respectively 0,5 mg/m3for PAA & 1,25 mg/m3for hydrogen peroxide)
— No bystanders are allowed in treated area during the application phase.
— Animals shall be removed before treatment takes place.
