Document on mandatory registration in Europe of the use of nitrogen for disinfection purposes by the biocidal products regulation EU 528/2012 in September 2017. As a result, only one method of using nitrogen (along with several other restrictions) was acknowledged and included: nitrogen in cannisters.
As a result, the cultural her-itage institutions are facing the acute danger that cultural heritage may be damaged or irretrievably lost, and are forced to write off the investments they made.
