SoftOx Solutions AS has received a response from the Ministry of Climate and Environment. Update regarding the ongoing application process for national approval of biocidal products (disinfection products) in Norway (with reference to the stock exchange announcement from the company on September 22, 2021). The Ministry of Climate and the Environment has not upheld the appeal against a decision to reject the application for approval in parallel mutual recognition of SoftOx disinfection. Pending a decision from Sweden, SoftOx must therefore temporarily suspend the sale of SoftOx hand disinfectant. When SoftOx is successful in Sweden, the product will be able to be replaced on the market in Norway.
