How Long does the Biocide Product Licensing Process Take?

No clear and definite timeframe can be given for this. The duration of the licensing process for a biocide product varies depending on many parameters. These include:

• The time required for companies applying for a license to obtain the information that must be included in the license application dossier, 
• The amount of information required depending on the type of biocide product
• The number of tests to be performed and the time required to complete them
• The time spent physically preparing the license dossier
• The time required for the Ministry's evaluation and feedback. If the Ministry identifies any deficiencies or requests additional information, the time required to complete these

Considering all these stages, a period of 8-12 months should be anticipated.
