The survey forms part of the basis for the administration of Regulation 528/2012 of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (the Biocidal Product Regulation, BPR) which come into force in 2013, replacing Directive 98/8/EC (the Biocidal Product Directive, BPD). The major outputs of the survey are confidential lists of biocidal products marketed in Denmark and a confidential report for DEPA on the market of biocidal products in Denmark. The present report consists of a summary of the non-confidential information and information on biocidal ac- tive substances in imported articles. The survey has been undertaken from October to December 2012 by COWI A/S and has been steered by a Steering Group consisting of: • Niels Bukholt, Lone Søderberg and Nanna Kildsig, Danish Environmental Protection Agency • Jakob Maag and Carsten Lassen, COWI A/S 4 Survey of biocidal products in Denmark Summary and conclusions For the purposes of the administration of Regulation 528/2012 of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (the Biocidal Products Regulation), which comes into force in September 2013 and replaces the Biocidal Product Directive and parts of the Danish legislation, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (DEPA) launched a survey designed to give an overview of biocidal products on the Danish market and possible biocidal active substances in treated articles imported from countries outside the EU. The survey of biocidal products marketed in Denmark is based on data on biocidal products regis- tered in the Danish Product Registry, biocidal products subject to authorization schemes which are administered by DEPA and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, a questionnaire survey comprising market actors in key sectors and interviews of selected distributors and users of biocidal products. The data retrieval in the Danish Product Registry was based on a list of active substances covered by the review program under the Biocidal Product Directive (Annex II to Commission Regulation No. 1451/2007) and Annex I and IA to the Biocidal Product Directive, excluding substances for which a decision of non-inclusion into Annex I or Ia of the Biocidal Product Directive has been adopted (included in consolidated "non inclusion list" for all reviewed product types). The list contained in total 274 active substances. Of these, 123 active substances were registered in 931 biocidal products in the Danish Product Registry. The active substances were also registered in a large number of treated articles (e.g. paint with active substances to protect surface film) and in total 167 active substances were registered in one or more mixtures in the registry. Some of the registered active substances may also have other functions in the mixtures. Within many of the product types, a large number of biocidal products were placed on the market. PT2 (private area and public health area disinfectants and other biocidal products) was the largest product type with 420 registered biocidal products with 84 different active substances. The supplementary questionnaire survey showed that a number of biocidal products are not registered in the Product Registry or included in the list of biocidal products approved by DEPA and the survey of the market furthermore indicated that some market actors do not notify the biocidal products to the Product Registry. In total, 4 of the active substances identified by the questionnaire survey were not included in biocidal products registered in the Product Registry or included in the list of biocidal products approved by DEPA. A list of treated articles was established on the basis of existing studies of active substances in treat- ed articles and technical data sheets from manufacturers of biocidal products. Based on the list it was examined which commodity codes in the trade statistics that could cover the treated articles, and data on import of these items to Denmark from other EU Member States and countries outside the EU was retrieved from the database of Eurostat. It was furthermore assessed how likely it is that the articles covered by the individual commodity codes actually contain biocidal active substances. For many groups of articles, it is known that some biocidal products are marketed for use in these articles, but it will probably only be a small part of the articles which actually contain active sub- stances. This concern for example active substances incorporated into plastics to protect the surface against the growth of microorganisms which in principle can be used in many types of articles. Articles that may potentially contain active substances, and which are in particular imported from countries outside the EU, include articles of plastics containing active substances to prevent degra- dation of substances in plastics and microbial growth of the surface (such as products made of soft PVC with a degradable plasticizer), plastic products with an anti-bacterial surface (including hy- Survey of biocidal products in Denmark 5 gienic surfaces of various kitchen utensils and appliances), cleaning supplies, office supplies, con- sumer electronics, and textiles with antibacterial agents to prevent odour. It has not been possible to identify surveys of biocidal active substances in treated

The SM-2 forms part of the Aegis ballistic-missile defense (BMD) program. In “A Double-Edged Sword: Ballistic-Missile Defense and U.S. Alli- ances,” Robert C. Watts IV explores the impact of BMD on America’s relationship with NATO, Japan, and South Korea, finding that the forward-deployed BMD capability that the Navy’s Aegis destroyers provide has served as an important cement to these beneficial alliance relationships.
