The Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) introduced the concept of a "Biocidal Product Family" which allows for the grouping of biocidal products with similar compositions and intended functions. During this course, you will learn what a biocidal product family is and why it can be beneficial for businesses to make use of this regulatory tool to reduce regulatory burden.

This course will also provide information on how to determine what products can and cannot be grouped into a biocidal product family, and how extensions and subsets can be used to expand the definition of the family. The aim of this course is to provide you with the tools required to identify where your products may be combined into a product family to reduce the regulatory costs to place those products on the market .
