Is a DIN required to market a disinfectant drug product?
As per the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations, products that are labelled and/or sold as hard surface disinfectants, must be registered and authorized for sale by Health Canada’s Therapeutic Products Directorate. Therefore, the receipt of a Drug Identification Number, prior to sale of the product on the Canadian market (which includes any advertisements of the disinfectant drug product), is required.
