111It should be borne in mind that, as is apparent from recital 3 thereof, the purpose of Regulation No 528/2012 is to improve the free movement of biocidal products within the Union while ensuring a high level of protection of both human and animal health and the environment. That regulation is underpinned by the precautionary principle to ensure that the manufacturing and making available on the market of active substances and biocidal products do not result in harmful effects on human or animal health or unacceptable effects on the environment.
