BPC members and their role
The members of the BPC are expected to be able to work both during and between meetings of the BPC. The BPC meets approximately four times per year. The workload of the BPC is high and covers both biocidal products and their active substances. The opinions adopted by the BPC shall be in line with the requirements of the BPR but also consistent with the independence, integrity, and scientific credibility of the Agency.
The work of the BPC is regulated by the Rules of procedure which specify many aspects of the Committee's operations, for example procedures for delegating certain tasks to working groups and use of written procedures.
The work of the BPC is of a dual nature, regulatory and scientific, and the members are expected to have expertise in both these areas. Specifically, members should have a biocides regulatory background but also expertise in the relevant scientific and technical fields identified in Annex 3. More information on the Committee and its work is available on the BPC dedicated page of the ECHA website.
General conditions and independence of members
As one element to safeguard the independence, integrity, and credibility of the ECHA bodies, ECHA has adopted a procedure on the Prevention and Management of potential Conflicts of Interest. It ensures that a balance is taken between getting the right expertise to guarantee high quality decision and opinion making, and at the same time avoiding conflicting interests influencing or seen to be influencing the decision-making process.
The appointing authority is invited to read the ECHA policy on Prevention and Management of potential Conflicts of Interest and in particular its Annex 2 on the Eligibility criteria for candidates for membership in the ECHA bodies and for key positions in the ECHA Secretariat.
Publication of names, qualifications and declarations
Please note that, according to Article 75(4) of the BPR, the membership of the BPC and the professional qualifications (the brief CV - Annex 4) of the members shall be made public. Moreover, in accordance with the ECHA value of transparency, the annual declarations of interest are published. If individual members believe such publication could place them at risk, they may request by a separate letter addressed to the Executive Director to be added to the response that their names are not made public; the Executive Director shall decide whether to agree to such requests.
If you have any questions concerning the appointments, please contact the BPC Secretariat by email
