Webinar overview

Chemical disinfectants in the United States are registered and regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

Under FIFRA, chemical disinfectants are considered “antimicrobial pesticides” or “substances or mixtures of substances intended to destroy or suppress the growth of harmful microbiological organisms, and pesticides that protect inanimate objects and surfaces from organisms such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi.”

FIFRA lays out a rigorous product registration process, including submission of scientific evidence to EPA, which ensures that the product is safe for its intended use and any are supported. Prior to product registration and marketing, manufacturers are required to submit product chemistry, efficacy, and toxicity data, along with proposed labeling, for EPA’s review.

This webinar will provide an overview of the regulatory aspects, chemical and efficacy approach to be successfully compliant with EPA-FIFRA. The first part of the webinar will cover the regulatory compliance related to placing disinfectant products on the US market focusing on what manufacturers need to know before manufacturing, importing, formulating and distributing disinfectant products on the market under EPA-FIFRA regulations.

The second and the third sessions will cover US-focused chemical requirements as well as the efficacy approach for testing pesticide products under FIFRA regulations. Our expert speakers will dive through an effective registration process in the US and how to meet EPA chemistry and efficacy requirements and guidelines.
