The European Commission has just launched a call for information on in situ generated biocidal substances and on those chemicals, called precursors, that are used to generate them.

The call is addressed to companies marketing or using chemical substances, devices, equipment or systems for the disinfection of air, drinking water, waste water, bathing water or other water, swimming pools, aquariums, air conditioning systems, chemical toilets, walls or floors in private or public facilities such as hospitals, processing or cooling systems in industrial facilities, or water distribution systems.

Companies involved in other sectors may also be interested in taking part, in so far as they market or use chemical substances which meet the definition of a biocidal product under the terms of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

If your company is already a participant in the review program, please specify:

\- what you are currently supporting under the review program (i.e. the precursor(s), the active substance(s) or the combination of both;

\- whether you plan to seek product authorization for other combinations “precursor(s)/active substance(s)” than the ones currently supported;

\- whether you are aware of other precursors for the generation of the active substance you support being made available or used on the market.

If your company is *not* a participant in the review program, please provide details of the product, device, equipment or system, including of the combination “precursors and active substances” involved and of the methods used to generate the active substances in situ, as well as of the area of use.

The information gathered will be used to determine how to manage in situ- generated biocidally active substances in the context of Regulation 528/2012.

Interested parties should email their submissions to [ENV-biocides@ec-europa.eu](mailto:ENV-biocides@ec-europa.eu) by  March 31, 2014.
