Pharmacists Ordinance Amendment (No. 35) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת הרוקחים (מס' 35)

TL;DRA bill to regulate the registration and manufacture of biocidal products (pest control and disinfection substances) in a new register under the Pharmacists Ordinance.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill proposes adding a new chapter to the Pharmacists Ordinance setting definitions and rules for registering biocidal products in a central register. The bill changes the existing arrangement, under which these products are classified as preparations, without the need for special regulatory adjustments. The bill sets conditions for the administration for registering the products, including a requirement that their active substances be included in the European Union's list of approved substances. This bill applies to anyone who manufactures, imports or markets biocidal products in Israel, although there are exceptions for products already registered as preparations.
