In Turkey, biocidal products (disinfectants, preservatives, pest control products, etc.) must obtain an authorization from the Ministry of Health under the Biocidal Products Regulation before being placed on the market. The authorization process requires verifying the status of the active substance, determining the product type (PT), efficacy testing, and a comprehensive technical dossier.
The product type (PT) system
Biocidal products are divided into 22 product types under 4 main groups: hygiene products (PT1-5), preservatives (PT6-13), pest control (PT14-20) and other specialty products (PT21-22). The correct product type assignment determines the testing requirements and the scope of the dossier.
Our Scope
- Active substance and product type (PT) eligibility assessment
- Preparation and submission of the authorization application dossier
- Planning of efficacy tests and coordination with accredited laboratories
- Biocidal product risk assessment (human health and the environment)
- Label and promotional material compliance check
- Authorization renewal, transfer and variation procedures
How the process works
Preliminary assessment
We analyze the formulation, the status of the active substances on the lists, and the product type.
Test plan
We plan the efficacy and stability tests required for the product type and coordinate the laboratory processes.
Dossier and application
We prepare the technical dossier, submit the application and respond to the Ministry's questions.
Authorization and beyond
We continue to manage post-authorization changes, renewal and compliance monitoring.
