The BPC is expected to release its opinion regarding the active substance approval of ethanol soon... but, what will happen to biocidal products if ethanol is re-classified as a CMR substance?

How do we prepare for, and respond to, a world where biocontrol agents are not only discovered in nature, but increasingly designed, while navigating a regulatory system that is still evolving?

How do we frame biocontrol agents clearly enough to fit within today’s regulatory framework, yet flexibly enough to ensure they’re assessed on their own biological terms, not by chemical-era rules?

Why Maintaining REACH Dossier Quality Matters for Your Business | Blue Frog Scientific
Under the EU REACH Regulation, registrants carry a continuous responsibility to keep dossiers accurate, up to date, and compliant. Over time, some registrants may assume that once a registration has been accepted, the work is “done.” In reality, that’s rarely the case.
