COVID-19 lists of disinfectant active substances and products

Description

To alleviate the difficulties companies and Member State authorities may be facing during the global coronavirus pandemic, ECHA is supporting EU/EEA countries and companies to ensure that disinfectants can quickly enter the market. To ease the work of authorities and biocides companies looking for information on disinfectants, European Chemical Agency has published lists of active substances approved or being reviewed for their use in disinfectant products as well as a list of products that are authorised under the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR). This is not a comprehensive representation of all the disinfectant products available on the EU/EEA market as many of the products are currently authorised under various national regimes, while awaiting approval of the active substance (e.g. ethanol) at EU level. To give a better indication of the market situation for disinfectant products, ECHA has collected information from two Member States (Spain and the Netherlands) and from Switzerland, which each have a national authorisation system in place for disinfectant products.
