National authorisations

Make sure that you have everything you need before making your application.

You will see what you need in these places:

• The Biocides Submission Manual (BSM) ‘Application instructions: National authorisations'.
• The "Supporting Documents" table from ECHA's website. Make sure that you use the latest document template.
• The ‘Guidance on information requirements for Biocides'
• The Practical Guides

Important note for national authorisation renewal submissions

When you apply for a national authorisation renewal (NA-RNL) please make sure that you attach the correct supporting document. The supporting document to use depends on whether you are renewing:

• a single authorisation or;
• two or more authorisations linked by mutual recognition.

When you submit a renewal for two or more national authorisations, make sure that you identify each and every asset and enter them in only one supporting document. The supporting document needs to include all assets that form part of the same group for each and every application.

When you prepare a renewal for two or more national authorisations linked by mutual recognition, it is vital that you organise amongst the asset owners which assets will be renewed and the distribution of the submission work.

Please contact the ECHA Helpdesk or your national helpdesk if you have any queries concerning your application for a national authorisation renewal.
