Live online
02 December 2025 - 03 December 2025
Introduction
HSE will be hosting a workshop which will help attendees develop
an understanding of the regulatory approach to efficacy assessment
of pest control products (Main Group 3) under the GB Biocidal
Products Regulation (BPR). The event will take place over 2-half
days.
The workshop will provide a general overview of the efficacy
requirements for these types of products alongside specific advice
for the product types in this group. The workshop will also address
common issues related to labelling and efficacy testing for these
product types. Given the breadth of topics covered, it may not be
possible to cover all situations but there will be examples and
opportunities for questions and discussion throughout the
sessions.
The workshop will be delivered by HSE regulatory specialists and
will help attendees improve the quality of their submissions and
understand how these will be reviewed by the GB regulator.

The following topics will be covered:
- General considerations affecting the labelling, testing and
assessment of efficacy for pest control products in Main Group
