BPR (Biocidal Products Regulation)

The Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012) concerns the placing on the market and use of biocidal products, which are used to protect humans, animals, materials or articles against harmful organisms, like pests or bacteria, by the action of the active substances contained in the biocidal product.

Antimicrobial agents correspond to biocidal products and the products, which are treated with them, correspond to treated articles.
