The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.

Authorisations are subject to the following conditions:

  1. (1)

    For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means, products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment.

  2. (2)

    Appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments. In particular:

    1. (a)

      Labels and, where provided, safety data sheets of products authorised shall indicate that industrial application shall be conducted within a contained area or on impermeable hard standing with bunding, that freshly treated timber shall be stored after treatment under shelter or on impermeable hard standing, or both, to prevent direct losses to soil or water, and that any losses from the application of the product shall be collected for reuse or disposal.

    2. (b)

      Products shall not be authorised for industrial treatment by dipping or spraying of wood that will be exposed to weathering, unless data is submitted to demonstrate that the product will not present unacceptable risks, if necessary by the application of appropriate mitigation measures.

    3. (c)

      Products shall not be authorised for treatment of outdoor constructions near or above water, or for treatment of wood that will be used for outdoor constructions near or above water, unless data is submitted to demonstrate that the product will not present unacceptable risks, if necessary by the application of appropriate mitigation measures.
