Whereas:

(1) On 2 May 2018, SC Johnson Europe SARL submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) an
application in accordance with Article 43(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 for Union authorisation of a biocidal
product family named ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’ of product-type 2, as described in Annex V to that

(2) ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’ contains hydrochloric acid as the active substance, included in the Union list

product characteristics (‘SPC’) of ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’ and the final assessment report on the

(5) The opinion concludes that ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’ is a biocidal product family within the meaning of
Article 3(1), point (s), of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, that it is eligible for Union authorisation in accordance with
Article 42(1) of that Regulation and that, subject to compliance with the draft SPC, it meets the conditions laid down

(6) On 10 January 2023, the Agency transmitted to the Commission the draft SPC in all the official languages of the
Union in accordance with Article 44(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(7) The Commission concurs with the opinion of the Agency and considers it therefore appropriate to grant a Union
authorisation for ‘HCl Disinfecting Toilet Bowl Cleaner’.

(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
Biocidal Products,
