Biocidal Product Certificate: What It Is and How to Obtain It

Biocidal Product Certificate service

Sistem Patent Kalite supports the Biocidal Product Certificate across five core activities, shaped to the needs of producers, importers, and distributors of biocidal products.

Which products fall within the Biocidal Product Certificate scope

The Biocidal Product Certificate applies to several product families, each with its own evaluation requirements:

• Insecticides: Products used to control or eliminate harmful insects, from household treatments to agricultural applications.
• Fungicides: Products used to control or eliminate fungi, moulds, and related growth.
• Algaecides: Products used to control or eliminate algae in water systems.
• Pest-control products: From mosquito sprays to rodenticides, products formulated for pest control fall within the scope.
• Disinfectants: Products used to eliminate or control microorganisms and viruses on surfaces and in facilities.

How certificate costs are set

Fees for the Biocidal Product Certificate depend on several factors. Each application is scoped individually, and the figure is driven by the product profile and the effort the file requires:

• Product type and complexity: More complex formulations and higher-risk categories need more work and more test data.
• Number of products: A larger product portfolio increases the documentation effort and the review load.
• Application type: A new-product application carries a different cost profile from a renewal of an existing registration.
• Level of consultancy support: Files that need close technical guidance, laboratory coordination, and follow-up with the authority carry a higher service cost.

For companies that produce or trade biocidal products, the Biocidal Product Certificate is the document that proves the products are safe and effective. Sistem Patent Kalite manages the application start to finish, so the company can focus on operations while the consultancy handles the file.
