Following a decision to approve a particular active substance for a specific product-type Member States shall ensure that authorisations for biocidal products of that product-type and containing that active substance are granted, modified or cancelled as appropriate in accordance with this Regulation within two years of the date of approval.

In the case of biocidal products containing more than one active substance, applications for authorisation shall be submitted no later than the date of approval of the last active substance for that product-type. Where no application for authorisation or mutual recognition in parallel has been submitted in accordance with the second subparagraph: the biocidal product shall no longer be made available on the market with effect from 180 days after the date of approval of the active substance(s); and disposal and use of existing stocks of the biocidal product may continue until 365 days after the date of approval of the active substance(s).
