of 6 February 2025

granting a Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Neporex 2SG’ in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 44(5), first subparagraph, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 13 December 2017, Elanco Animal Health Inc. submitted an application to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for Union authorisation of a single biocidal product named ‘Neporex 2SG’ of product-type 18, as described in Annex V to that Regulation, providing written confirmation that the competent authority of Germany had agreed to evaluate the application. The application was recorded under case number BC-NA035887-38 in the Register for Biocidal Products.
(2) ‘Neporex 2SG’ contains cyromazine as the active substance, included in the Union list of approved active substances referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for product-type 18.
(3) On 25 September 2023, the evaluating competent authority submitted, in accordance with Article 44(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, an assessment report and the conclusions of its evaluation to the Agency.
(4) On 20 March 2024, the Agency submitted to the Commission its opinion (2), the draft summary of the biocidal product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘Neporex 2SG’ and the final assessment report on the single biocidal product, in accordance with Article 44(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(5) The opinion concludes that ‘Neporex 2SG’ is a single biocidal product within the meaning of Article 3(1), point (r), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that, subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down in Article 19(1) of that Regulation.
(6) On 5 April 2024, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(7) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union authorisation for the single biocidal product ‘Neporex 2SG’.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE

 (1)

5.1.   

Instructions for use

General

Not authorised for use in veal calve housings.
Dilute the granules in water (25 g biocidal product in 1 litre water to treat 1 m
2
). Only watering can application is allowed.
Fly population reduction can be observed starting from 2 weeks after product application.
The following general resistance management measures shall be applied:
— If the development of resistance is suspected, a change to another product with an active substance with a different mode of action is required.
— In order to avoid the occurrence of resistance to any active substance, use products with different modes of action in alternation and avoid the frequent repeated use of the same active substance.
— It is recommended to complement the treatment in livestock facilities with an adulticide product.
— The use of biocidal products can be combined with other sanitation measures (e.g. frequent removal of dung) or non-chemical means of control (for example the use of parasitoids, where this is viable) within an integrated fly control program.
Always read the label or leaflet before use and follow all the instructions provided.

Cattle and small ruminant (e.g. sheep and goats) facilities

Deep litter: Conduct the treatment within the first few days (up to 3 days) of starting a rearing cycle or within the first 3 days after dung removal and the build-up of new breeding material has started. Use treatment along walls, edges and spillage areas around feeders, drinkers and where manure accumulates. Fly breeding sites are likely to be where manure is not compacted, particularly along walls or fences, because in well-trodden litter limited fly larvae develop.
Slatted floor: Treat the entire floor area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after cleaning out the dung pit but only after the new manure starts to pile up again.
In case of small ruminants (e.g. sheep and goats) kept on soft bedding: larvae can be found on the whole surface of the cubicle / pen; therefore, application of the product to the entire surface is required. Apply in corners or around drinking and feeding troughs if necessary.

Pigs facilities

All-in, all-out system: Conduct the treatment within the first few days (up to 3 days) after cleaning out the dung pit but only after the new manure starts to build up.
Slatted floors: Treat the entire floor area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after cleaning out the dung pit but only after the new manure starts to build up.
Deep litter: Conduct the treatment within the first few days (up to 3 days) after dung removal but only after the manure starts to build up. Use treatment along walls, edges and spillage areas around feeders, drinkers and where manure accumulates. Fly breeding sites are likely to be where manure is not compacted, particularly along walls or fences, because in well-trodden litter limited fly larvae develop.

Chicken poultry facilities (layers, broilers, breeders)

Deep pits, slatted floor, floor-manure-piling operations: Conduct the treatment to the entire dung area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after manure removal but only after the manure starts to build up.
Bedding operations: Apply onto the humid points where larvae develop, such as in areas around drinkers and feeders or in points where a leakage of water occurs (fall of steam condensation, leakage from water pipes etc.).
Operations with manure removal belts: Remove manure outside the operations at intervals sufficient enough to avoid the development of larvae. Spillage of manure on the floor or accumulation of manure in corners may occur and facilitate the development of larvae. Conduct the treatment by pouring the application solution onto these points.

Other poultry (turkeys, ducks, geese)

Bedding operations: Apply the application solution onto the humid points where larvae develop, such as in areas around drinkers and feeders or in points where a leakage of water occurs (fall of steam condensation, leakage from water pipes etc.).
Slatted areas: Apply the application solution to the entire dung area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after manure removal but only after the manure starts to build up. Re-apply whenever the level of manure increases by 10 cm.

Rabbit facilities

Deep pits, floor-manure-piling operations: Apply the application solution to the entire dung area within the first few days (up to 3 days) after manure removal but only after the first manure starts to build up. Re-apply whenever the level of manure increases by 10 cm.
Operations with mechanical removal systems: Remove Manure outside the operations at intervals sufficient enough to avoid the development of larvae. Spillage of manure on the floor or accumulation of manure on corners may occur and facilitate the development of larvae. Conduct the treatment by pouring the application solution onto these points.

5.2.
