The aim of the event will be to provide training and updated guidance via a series of presentations and practical sessions. The workshop is designed for technical and registration specialists involved in the preparation and submission of biocide dossiers to CRD.

 

The course will cover:

 

  • Overview of the data requirements for products and specific issues with different product types
  • Guidance available for the biocidal products – Biocide Product Family and Carriers

  • Method requirements for the technical material, formulation, and residues monitoring

 

At the end of the workshop,  a surgery will be held where participants will be able to discuss issues/problems they are having with the generation of active/product Chemistry data on a one to one basis with a member of CRD staff (≈10 minutes). Please note that all slots will need to be pre-booked by emailing Events.CRD@hse.gov.uk no later than the 29th May
