Alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) products must have Drug Identification Number (DIN) or Natural Product Number (NPN) from Health Canada. The active concentration of alcohol can be found by searching on the DIN number in the Health Canada Drugs and Products Database and, for health care, the concentration is recommended to be 70-90% of ethyl and/or isopropyl alcohol.
