26It is thus apparent from the wording of the first indent of Article 3(1)(a) of Regulation No 528/2012 that a product must be classified as a ‘biocidal product’, within the meaning of that provision, if it satisfies three conditions. First, that product must consist of one or more ‘active substances’, whether because it contains those substances or because it generates them. Secondly, the product must pursue certain aims, namely destroying, deterring, rendering harmless, preventing the action of, or otherwise exerting a controlling effect on any harmful organism. Thirdly, the mode of action of that product must be ‘other than mere physical or mechanical action’.
