The Annex to that Implementing Regulation provides the summary of product characteristics for that biocidal product family. (2) On 22 May 2024, SC Johnson Europe Sàrl submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 354/2013(3), a notification of administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’, as referred to in Title 1, Section 1, of the Annex to that Regulation. The notification was recorded in the Register for Biocidal Products (‘Register’) under case number BC-AR095155-26. The notified proposed changes to that authorisation concern the addition and modification of several names of biocidal products. (3) On 28 June 2024, the Agency submitted to the Commission, in accordance with Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013, an opinion(4)on the notified administrative changes to the Union authorisation for the biocidal product family ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’. In its opinion, 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.
