Abstract This leaflet introduces the new Biocidal Products Regulations 2000(BPR). These regulations implement the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD) whose aim is to ensure that all biocidal products on sale are safe when used properly and can be freely traded within the European Union (EU). BPR aims to provide a high level of protection for humans, animals and the environment and contribute to the harmonisation of the European market for biocidal products and their active substances. It provides information relevant to BPR. Contents: Who has duties under BPR? What is a biocidal product? What does BPR do? Who authorises these products; What if I currently market an active substance in the EU? Marketing a new active substance in the EU; Fees and charges; Ill health effects; Who enforces BPR? Further advice and information.
