Guidance on Permits

Permits allow the placing on the market and use of biocidal products under a number of specific conditions. Permits for which an application can be made include parallel trade permits or trial permits.

Parallel trade permits are designed for identical biocidal products allowing notification holders to make the product available on the market in one Member State if the biocidal product is identical to a biocidal product already authorised in the Member State of introduction.

Trial permits are only allowed for experiments conducted at testing facilities.
