Techincal Guidance Note on comparative assessment

With a view to achieving a high level of protection of human health, animal health and the environment, the biocidal products Regulation ("BPR" hereinafter) aims to promote the substitution of active substances (ASs) of particular concern to public health or the environment, the so-called candidates for substitution (CFSs) as defined in Article 10(1) of that Regulation. The objective of the substitution goal in the BPR is to ensure that over time the use of these substances is restricted or even replaced by better alternatives.
