On Feb. 1, Regulation (EU) 2019/1148 indicating rules for the regulation of explosives precursors will come into force. The regulation governs new rules with respect to certain chemicals and mixtures, with heavy implications for use, purchase, possession, and sale, both for private and professional users. The updates will involve, among other substances, sulfuric acid, the key component of Ambro-Sol® Descaling detergent – code P306.

As of 01/02/2021, private users will no longer be able to freely purchase products having a sulfuric acid concentration greater than 15 percent. Therefore, Ambro-Sol® Descaling detergent will become exclusively for professional use.

As a result, the product will no longer be considered an « over-the-counter product. » The purchase can only be made by the professional user, followed by an official document (e.g., invoice) that allows for tracking.
