To boost up the manufacture and supply of disinfectants EU has taken necessary steps under Article 55(1) (Derogation from the requirements) of Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR).

By way of derogation from Articles 17 and 19, a competent authority may permit, for a period not exceeding 180 days, the making available on the market or use of a biocidal product which does not fulfil the conditions for authorisation laid down in this Regulation, for a limited and controlled use under the supervision of the competent authority, if such a measure is necessary because of a danger to public health, animal health or the environment which cannot be contained by other means.
