Can a disinfectant product be labelled with contact times and use dilutions that vary depending on which pathogens are targeted?
As stated in the Guidance Document: Disinfectant Drugs, contact times and use dilutions that vary depending on which pathogens are targeted are unacceptable as the end user is unable to readily determine which microorganisms are present on a target surface. Therefore, a disinfectant product cannot be labeled with contact times and use dilutions that vary depending on which pathogens are targeted. For example, a label may not make reference to a 5 minute contact time for efficacy against bacteria and a 10 minute contact time for efficacy against fungi. The exception to the above is Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) where a separate contact time is allowed.
