TGA Hard surface disinfectants and changes to the registration and listing of disinfectants ans sterilants

[Glenys Harrington]

Dear All,

For those who may not be aware the TGA has advised that the way hard surface
disinfectants are regulated has changed.

“Hard surface disinfectants have recently been down-regulated as a result of
the reform activities endorsed by Government from the Future Regulation of
Low Risk Products Review. This included:

. Downregulating Registered disinfectants entries on the Australian
Register of Therapeutic Goods to become Listed entries, and Listed
disinfectants are now exempt, and

. Pre-market review of listed disinfectants will only be conducted
on new ingredients (that are active) and/or new specific claims”.

Further information can be found at the following TGA web page links:
