What information does EPA require to support registration of disinfectant products?
To support an application for the registration of a disinfectant product for sale and use in the United States, EPA requires companies to submit results from a suite of scientific studies, the product’s chemical composition and formulation, a draft product label with proposed use directions and restrictions, and appropriate application forms. The suite of required studies may include a battery of mammalian toxicity studies and occupational exposure studies to characterize potential risks to humans, environmental chemistry and toxicity studies to characterize potential risks to the environment from the labeled uses, and product efficacy (performance) studies to support the claims on the label.
