Disinfectants & Biocides: How We Help
Disinfectants and biocidal products are highly regulated in Canada. Unlike general cleaners, products that claim to kill germs or viruses must be registered with a Drug Identification Number (DIN) under the Food and Drugs Act.
Compliance risk is high. If your label claims or active ingredients are not aligned with the correct regulatory pathway, you face immediate stop-sale orders. We help you confirm the pathway, prepare submission-ready documentation, and support compliant market entry across Canada and the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions (DIN & Biocides)
If your product makes any antimicrobial claims (e.g., “disinfects,” “kills germs,” “sanitizes”), it is considered a drug in Canada and requires a Drug Identification Number (DIN) before sale. General cleaners without these claims do not.
Canadian importers of disinfectants do not require a Drug Establishment License (DEL). We can help you determine your status.
No. Canada has distinct labeling requirements (bilingual text, metric units, specific warning symbols) that differ from the US EPA. You cannot sell the US package directly in Canada.
