Companies ask us constantly in which countries can we help them expand their market of biocides and of course: "How long would the registration take?".
As we all know, biocides are special kind of products that require registration before they can be placed on a specific market. Registration of a biocidal product in one european country does not mean that you can sell or use this product in other european countries as well.
This is the reason we put together a comprehensive list of countries, in which you can check how long would further market expansion of your transitional period biocidal products take:
Austria – 1 week
Belgium – 1 year
Bulgaria – 6 months
Bosnia and Herzegovina – 2 months
Croatia – 2 months
Czech Republic – 4 months
Cyprus – 2 months
Denmark – 1 year*
Estonia – 3 months
Finland – 1 year*
France – 6 months
