38It follows that the fact that a product has a probiotic effect, and not a chemical effect, does not in itself preclude its classification as a ‘biocidal product’ within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a) of Regulation No 528/2012. On the contrary, provided that the probiotic effect of a product results from ‘[an action] other than mere physical or mechanical action’, within the meaning of that provision, and that the other conditions thereof are met, that product undoubtedly falls within the scope of that provision.
