Vet Times Extra: changes in biocidal regulations on veterinary sector

Regulatory compliance within the biocides industry has long been a source of confusion. With regulations changing so significantly post-Brexit, it’s easy to lose track of what to look for in a compliant and effective veterinary disinfectant. Here, Anna Williams, senior regulatory manager, and Chris Plummer, head of technical at Byotrol plc, an antimicrobial technology specialist and manufacturer of Anigene professional surface disinfectant cleaner, discuss how changing regulations are likely to impact the veterinary sector. This podcast will discuss changes in the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), the impact on the veterinary sector, how the BPR changes will improve quality of products and how veterinary organisations should choose a supported product. _____________________ 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗦 Anna is the senior regulatory manager for biocides at Byotrol, ensuring biocidal products are compliant with the relevant regulations, and providing guidance on the development of new technologies.
