Colleagues in Europe, ECHA, the European Chemicals Agency, is currently consulting on the Austrian government's application for derogation of nitrogen from the Biocidal Products Regulations: https://echa.europa.eu/derogations-for-the-protection-of-cultural-heritage/-/substance-rev/24401/term .
When responding to the consultation, the ICOM UK position paper on nitrogen may contain some helpful information: https://uk.icom.museum/news/view/?title=/icom-uk-urges-the-eu-commission-to-re-establish-ability-of-cultural-heritage-organisations-to-use-nitrogen-for-conservation-treatment/. Please tell all your friends and colleagues and encourage them to contribute to the consultation. The Austrian application is a corner stone in the drive to re-establish the ability of cultural heritage organisations to use nitrogen anoxia with in situ generated nitrogen as a pest insect treatment methodology.
