Why RID is not available in the EU or UK

The EU Biocidal Products Regulations 528/2012 (BPR) was put in place to provide a level of standardisation across countries in the EU. As a biocide, DEET is now regulated under the BPR to ensure consistent product safety across the EU. DEET is one of the first products to be regulated. DEET repellents over 50% in strength have not been legal for sale in the EU since 2016. Even though RID products contain a maximum of only 19.5% DEET, as an Australian brand, it has not been approved by the EU.
