Use

Biocide

According to Directive 98/8/EC of 16 February 1998 are to be biocidal products only approved products whose active substances in Annex (Annex I, IA and IB) of that Directive have been included ( for the defined product ). According to the transitional regime ( article 16, paragraph 1 of Directive 98/8/EC ) was the placing of biocidal products however are still permitted that do not contain the active substances listed in the Annex to Directive 98/8/EC, provided these agents with target date May 14 2000 already on the market were (also " existing active substances " called ).

Reported in accordance with Regulation ( EC) 1896/2000 of 7 September 2000 Manufacturer had who wanted to applied for the inclusion of an "old drug " in Annexes I, IA and IB, the active substance concerned until 28 March 2002 on the notification for the relevant product have.

By Regulation ( EC) 2032/2003 of 4 November 2003, the active ingredient bendiocarb of notified active substances has been following for the PT 18 (insecticides ) in the list (Annex II) was added.

Commission Regulation ( EC) 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007über the second phase of the ten- year work program concerning the placing of biocidal products was the active ingredient bendiocarb in the final list (Annex II) of the part of the test program to be tested agents recorded.

With the adoption of Directive 2012/3/EU of 9 February 2012 will a decision before, include the substance bendiocarb from 1 February 2014 in the appropriate list (Annex I of Directive 98/8/EC ) for the PT 18 (insecticides ). The release of biocidal products containing the active ingredient bendiocarb is therefore in the EU ( Switzerland has adopted this provision ) still allowed for the PT 18 (insecticides ) (initially limited until January 31, 2024 ).

Pesticides

The drug was used primarily against the Colorado potato beetle, and seed treatment for sugar beet and fodder beet against the moss beetles button. He also was used against lawn and garden ants. In trade bendiocarb came as a wettable powder, seed powder, aerosol or granules. It was also beet Pillensaat available, which was provided in addition to bendiocarb with the fungicide thiram.

Bendiocarb is not on the list of allowed in the EU pesticide active ingredients. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, no plant protection products containing this active substance is approved.
