The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions:
1.. The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any use covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union-level risk assessment of the active substance.
2.. In view of the risks identified for the uses assessed, the product assessment shall pay particular attention to:
a)) surface water and sediment compartments for products used indoor for fogging;
b)) surface water, sediment and soil for products used outdoor for fogging.
3.. For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.
