contains, in relation to the authorised biocidal product, the descriptions “low-risk biocidal product”, “non-toxic” or “harmless”, or similar descriptions.

(2)

Subject to paragraph (3), no person shall place on the market an authorised biocidal product unless—

that authorised biocidal product is labelled clearly and indelibly with the information specified in Schedule 9; and

(b)

that information is in English, whether or not it is also in any other language.

(3)

Subject to paragraph (4), the information referred to in paragraphs 3, 5 to 12 and 14 of Schedule 9 may be given on the packaging of the authorised biocidal product or in an accompanying leaflet integral to the packaging of that authorised biocidal product.
