EU Extends Expiry Date for Active Substance Cis-tricos-9-ene to 2027

On May 13, 2024, the European Commission, guided by EU Regulation No. 528/2012 and Directive No. 98/8/EC, extended the expiry date of the active substance cis-tricos-9-ene (CAS No.: 27519-02-4) for use in biocidal products of product-type 19 until March 31, 2027. This extension takes effect 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Background and Subsequent Developments

On April 6, 2023, a proposal was submitted to extend the expiry date for cis-tricos-9-ene. The Austrian regulatory agency agreed to a thorough evaluation on August 9, 2023, and informed the European Commission. This evaluation is expected to conclude within 365 days, with possible suspensions totaling no more than 180 days if additional data is needed.

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will issue its renewal opinion within 270 days of receiving assessment recommendations. Given the potential for delays beyond the applicant's control, the European Commission has extended the expiry date of cis-9-tricosene until March 31, 2027, to ensure a smooth review process and sustained market availability.
