Interim guide on isopropyl alcohol for use in alcohol-based hand sanitizers and disinfectants: Overview

Health Canada developed a licensing approach to produce and distribute alcohol-based hand sanitizers on March 27, 2020 (updated on July 13, 2020) for companies. The guide has useful information on the authorizations required to manufacture, package, label, import and/or distribute alcohol-based hand sanitizers. It also includes information on how to obtain the required authorizations (a product licence and/or a site licence) during this emergency.
