Updated disinfecting news – “Since day one, EPA’s priority has been to provide the public with easy access to the information they need. In order to protect themselves and their families from the virus that causes COVID-19,” says EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler in a press release. “Through our efforts to expand List N, we are ensuring that Americans have a broad set of approved products to clean and disinfect surfaces to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus.”
Disinfectants can qualify for inclusion on List N in three ways:
– By passing a test against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
– Through demonstrating efficacy against a different coronavirus similar to SARS-CoV-2.
– By showing efficacy against a pathogen that is harder to kill than SARS-CoV-2.

People can market and sell disinfectant products under multiple different brand and product names. Therefore, List N users should use the first two sections of a product’s registration number when searching List N. For example, if EPA Reg. No. 12345-12 is on List N, you can buy EPA Reg. No. 12345-12-2567 and know you’re getting an equivalent product.
