(2) On 17 October 2024, Pal Hygiene Products Limited submitted notification to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the
Agency’), in accordance with Article 11(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 354/2013(3), of
administrative changes to the Union authorisation of the biocidal product family ‘PAL IPA PRODUCT FAMILY’, as
referred to in Title 1 of the Annex to that Regulation. The notification was recorded in the Register for Biocidal
Products (‘the Register’) under case number BC-KT100508-25. The notified proposed changes to that authorisation
concern the addition of trade names and a change in the address of the manufacturing location of the biocidal
product and the manufacturer.
(3) On 11 November 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 of
the biocidal product family ‘PAL IPA PRODUCT FAMILY’, together with a revised summary of product

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
