Dear Sirs,
We would like to seek clarification regarding the active substance
trihydrogen pentapotassium di(peroxomonosulfate) di(sulfate) (KMPS) with CAS
70693-62-8, which has been approved as a biocide for surface disinfection
and has demonstrated efficacy at 5 g/L.
As outlined in the active substance dossier under the EU Biocidal Products
Regulation (BPR) for PT2, one of the supported uses is swimming pool
disinfection, with a minimum in-use concentration of 130 ppm. However,
according to the declaration provided by LANXESS (active substance
notifier), additional efficacy studies conducted with Oxone™ (KMPS technical
grade) demonstrated that the product exhibits no bactericidal activity at
120 ppm when tested against reference strains in accordance with EN
1276:2019, modified with the conditions outlined in the OECD guidance
document.
In line with the Efficacy Guidance under the BPR, EN 1276 constitutes a
mandatory suspension test at the first tier (phase 2, step 1) to support
claims related to the reduction of infection risks in swimming pools. Based
on the results of these tests, LANXESS concluded that at concentrations of
120 ppm or lower, Oxone™ exhibits solely an oxidising effect and does not
demonstrate the biocidal activity required to support a disinfection claim
under the EU BPR.
In practice, this means that at such concentrations, the substance
contributes only to the oxidation of organic matter (e.g. sweat, body oils,
and other residues) and the breakdown of nitrogenous compounds. These
effects help to mitigate odours and improve water clarity, but do not
provide effective microbial control.
Furthermore, as can be verified on the product labelling (attached), the
recommended application doses are 1 kg per 50 m³ for the initial treatment
and 700 g per 50 m³ for weekly maintenance. These correspond to
concentrations of approximately 20 ppm and 14 ppm, respectively. Such levels
are far below the concentrations (5 g/l) demonstrated to be necessary to
achieve a biocidal effect, thereby confirming that the marketed product
functions solely as an oxidising agent in swimming pool applications.
We kindly request your confirmation of this interpretation, and whether KMPS
chemical products could be placed on the market as oxidising agents for use
in swimming pool water in your country, specifically to improve clarity and
mitigate odours, in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) and
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
Your sincerely,
Laia Urdí

These tests were performed according to EN 1276:2019, modified with conditions from the www.lanxess.com

It is LANXESS’ understanding, based on the results of these tests, that OxoneTM exhibits
