Main Group 4: Other Biocidal Products

The Main Group 4 classification of biocidal products includes biocidal products intended for more general use. This group covers the analysis and safety assessment of products used to protect human and environmental health. The suitability, efficacy and safety of these products, which fall outside product groups such as cleaners, disinfectants, preservatives or pest control, are assessed through both laboratory and field tests.

Biocidal products are classified into 4 main categories:

Main group 1: Disinfectants
Main group 2: Protectors
Main group 3: Pest Control
Main group 4: Other Biocidal Products

What are the Product Types in Main Group 4 of Biocidal Products?

Product Type 21 Biocidal Product Analysis (Toxic products)	It is used to control the growth and settlement of contaminated organisms (germs and higher forms of plant or animal species) on ships, aquaculture equipment or other structures used in water.
