Action Required: IUCLID Obligation for Renewal Applications of Biocidal Active Substances from 1 July 2026


June 18, 2026

From 1 July 2026, a new requirement issued by ECHA comes into effect: for all renewal applications for the approval of biocidal active substances, the dossier data must be submitted mandatorily in IUCLID format.

What is changing?

ECHA has stipulated that, for renewal applications submitted from 1 July 2026 onwards, the following data must be available in IUCLID format:

  • All documentation from the original application for approval of the biocidal active substance
  • All relevant approval data in accordance with the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR)
  • The data must be created or updated using the current version of IUCLID

Applications that do not comply with the new format requirements risk delays or rejection of the renewal procedure.

What does this mean for you?

If your company is planning a renewal of the active substance approval, or has already submitted an application, you must ensure that your existing dossier:

  1. Has been updated to the latest version of IUCLID
  2. Contains all relevant data completely and correctly in IUCLID format
  3. Meets the formal requirements of the BPR
