Annex 2. Output in Belgium

Table B.1 provides an overview of the total amount of active substances in tonnes (1,000 kg) per product type on the Belgian market during the period 2017-2022. Similar information is shown in Tables B.2 up to and including B.4. Table B.1 is the most relevant table for the assessment of toxicological environmental and health risks, because it lists quantities of active substance instead of product quantities (as in Tables B.3 and B.4), and it also contains more details (per PT instead of per group, as in Table B.2).

It is important to note the following with regard to the listed quantities. If a biocide is authorised for multiple PTs, the quantity is counted for each of these PTs because we don't know which quantity applies to which PT. This means that the quantities for each PT are an overestimate if a biocide is authorised for other PTs as well. The quantities per group are overestimated for the same reason. These double entries are removed from the end total, so the total amount corresponds to the biocide quantities that were sold.

Table B.5 shows the distribution of active substance quantities for 2018 in tonnes by PT, by circuit type and by user type. We note that the vast majority of biocides, approx. 91% of the total amount, is for professional use only. Only 3% is for non-professional use only. With regard to PT14 (rodenticides), we note that the majority of the products (based on active substance quantity) are authorised for both professional and non-professional use and are available on the free circuit. Almost all of the preservative applications (PT6-9 and PT11-13) on the Belgian market are for professional use only. Only PT10 (construction material preservatives) contains products for both types of users. Virtually all of the products in PT21 (antifouling products) are for professional use only.

Breakdown by free and closed circuit is not being considered for the Netherlands. Breakdown by user type (professional or non-professional) does make sense for the Dutch market.

¹³⁾ For non-zero biocidal products we can create tables similar to B1-B4 for active substance quantities and product quantities by PT and main group.
