Whereas:
(1) On 13 November 2018, Thonhauser GmbH submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for Union authorisation of a biocidal product family named ‘BPF THO TM Desana’ of product-type 4, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of Austria had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-AN044872-35 in the Register for Biocidal Products.
(2) ‘BPF THO TM Desana’ contains active chlorine released from sodium hypochlorite as the active substance included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product- type 4.
(3) On 5 June 2025, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation
(EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the Agency.
(4) On 16 December 2025, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion(2), the draft summary of the product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘BPF THO TM Desana’ and the final assessment report on the biocidal product family, in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(5) The opinion concludes that ‘BPF THO TM Desana’ is a biocidal product family within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (s), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that, subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(6) of that Regulation.
(6) On 9 January 2026, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(7) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for ‘BPF THO TM Desana’ for the uses proposed to be authorised by the Agency.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

Note for notifications of products according to Art. 17(6) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012:
For potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the grouping concept applies. Products pertaining to the BPF contain either potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or a combination of both substances. However, independent of how these substances are combined within the biocidal products, the concentration (single or combined) is at minimum 7,5 % (w/w) and at maximum 15,5 % (w/w).
Meta SPC 1: Contains only KOH, cf. to concentrations in the composition table.
Meta SPC 2: Contains only KOH, cf. to concentrations in the composition table.
Meta SPC 3: Grouping applies. Both pH regulators shall be used together. The minimum content of the potassium hydroxide shall be 1,5 % (w/w). The maximum content of potassium hydroxide shall be 5 % (w/w). The minimum content of sodium hydroxide shall be 5 % (w/w), the maximum content of sodium hydroxide shall be 6 % (w/w).
The total content of pH regulators in the formulation should be in the range of 7.5 and 10
