Fältkoder IN KNARTKOD21 | UT WIARTKOD21 | API treatedWithBiocide
In this field, you indicate whether an article has been treated with, or contains, biocides.
Information and description
A biocide is a substance used to protect a product against harmful organisms such as mold, bacteria, insects, or algae. Examples include wood treated with preservatives, paint containing mold inhibitors, or textiles with antibacterial treatment.
Note that this does not apply to biocidal products themselves (such as a pesticide sold in a container), but rather to goods that have been treated with or intentionally contain biocides to provide a specific function.
Regulations
The requirement to declare biocidal treatment is based on the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, 528/2012). The regulation requires companies to disclose when a product has been treated with biocides, and also specify the function and active substances used. This information is important for recipients in the construction supply chain who must comply with legislation, workplace safety standards, and sustainability goals.
-
Yes: The article is treated with or contains a biocide for an intended function.
-
