Description

Biocidal products may only be sold and used if they comply with the provisions of the Biocidal Products Regulation.

In addition, it was assessed whether the biocidal active substances dichlofluanid and tolylfluanid are contained in the products. With regard to wood preservatives, the concentrations indicated were complied with, with a few exceptions. The majority of the various care and coating preservatives also contained biocidal active ingredients. On the labels, 2-butanonoxime was often declared.
