How to regularize sanitizing products with MAPA?

Sanitizing products are those designed to sanitize, disinfect and maintain cleanliness in various environments, such as homes, industries and institutions. These products play an essential role in preventing disease and maintaining public health. Examples include:

• Disinfectants: Products used to eliminate micro-organisms from surfaces.
• Detergents: Substances that make it easier to remove dirt and grease.
• Sanitizers: Products that reduce the number of microorganisms to safe levels.

The first step to regularizing a sanitizing product is to classify it correctly according to its characteristics and use. MAPA categorizes sanitizing products into different groups, such as disinfectants, detergents, sanitizers, among others. Proper classification is crucial to determining the type of registration required and the documentary requirements.

Once the product has been correctly classified, it is necessary to prepare all the technical documentation required by MAPA. This documentation includes:

• Product Data Sheet: Details of the formulation, active ingredients, mode of action and indications for use.
• Safety and Efficacy Studies: Reports proving the safety of the product for its intended use and its efficacy in the proposed action.
• Labels and Packaging: The product label must comply with regulatory requirements, including clear information on safe use, precautions, and first aid in case of exposure.

With the documentation in hand, the next step is to submit the application for registration to MAPA. Registration is a legal requirement so that the product can be manufactured, marketed and used in the national territory. The registration process can vary depending on the type of product and its classification, but generally involves:

• Technical Evaluation: MAPA carries out a detailed analysis of the documentation submitted to ensure that the product meets all safety and efficacy standards.
• Labeling Analysis: Checking that the product's label and packaging comply with regulatory standards.
• Issuing the Registration: If all the requirements are met, MAPA issues a registration certificate, authorizing the marketing of the product in Brazil.

After obtaining registration, it is essential to maintain compliance with MAPA standards. This includes carrying out periodic tests, updating documentation when necessary, and renewing the registration before it expires. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in the suspension or cancellation of registration.
