Disinfectant Registration Services

In India, disinfectants (including surface disinfectants, wipes, sanitizers etc.) are regulated under Drug and Cosmetics Act by The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) and all regulation applicable to drugs need to be followed for registering disinfectants. The disinfectant product standards are classified under Schedule ‘O’ of Drug and cosmetic Act.
CDSCO under Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India is the National Regulatory Authority (NRA) of India.

In India interdepartmental communication is needed to evaluate if any active substance is falling in certain departments such as CIBRC, CDSCO, and Indian Medical Association (IMA).
