An up-to-date decision diagram from the CVUA in Karlsruhe provides comprehensive tips for the legal classification of alcohol-containing products for germicidal use. Does a specific product qualify as a biocide according to Regulation (EU) No. 528/2012, a cosmetic product according to Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, or even as a medicinal product?
The determining factors here are the type of application and the advertising claims made. Terms such as "disinfection" or "antiviral" play a crucial role.
In the context of sales, clarifying the legal classification of a product before placing it on the market is extremely important, as completely different regulations and the associated examinations and documentation apply depending on the classification.
The BAV Institute within the international Tentamus Laboratory Group supports you with all regulatory questions and carries out the necessary investigations for your product.
