The European Union Standing Committee on Biocidal Products recently gave notice that Selektope is approved under the EU Biocidal Products Directive as an antifouling substance for use in both professional and non-professional antifouling products.

“We are very pleased to receive the final confirmation that Selektope complies with the demanding EU legislation for biocides,” said Cecilia Ohlauson, regulatory affairs manager for I-Tech. “It has been a long process so we are very eager to take the next step towards having Selektope-containing antifouling products on the European market”.

Selektope has already received regulatory approval in Japan, Korea and China and is currently under evaluation in the USA.

“The approval, under one of the world’s most rigorous environmental standards, is a huge achievement and represents an important milestone for our company”, said I-Tech CEO, Philip Chaabane. “We are particularly proud that we can now serve our customers in all key markets of the commercial shipping community as well as the important yachting market in the EU”.
