Thank you for the question.
The disinfectants and sanitizers are used for hard surfaces and/or soft surfaces. Those microbial elimination products do include alcohols. However, hand sanitizers are not included in the biocides regulations. These biocides are used on hard, non-porous surfaces or on textiles such as soft surfaces or carpets.
There are two different pathways to authorization in Canada. The regulations here apply to the biocides, whereas there is a slightly different pathway for the hand sanitizers.
