Emerging Viral Pathogen Claims for SARS-CoV-2: Submission Information for Registrants

Additional Information
  • Instructions for Review of Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) Submissions for Products Eligible for Inclusion on List N: Submission Information for Registrants
  • Instructions for Adding Electrostatic Spray Application Directions for Use to Antimicrobial Product Registrations
  • Read about disinfectant regulation and coronavirus (COVID-19)
  • Temporary Amendment to PRN 98-10: Notice to Manufacturers, Producers, Formulators and Registrants of Pesticide Products
  • Interim Guidance - Review for Products Adding Residual Efficacy Claims

Claims for already EPA-registered surface disinfectants that do not require review of new efficacy data can be submitted as non-PRIA fast-track amendments. Applications to add these claims are no longer being expedited.

To ensure the efficient processing of your submissions, please include the following in a cover letter to EPA:

  • a subject line that clearly indicates "Emerging Viral Pathogen Claim for SARS-CoV-2”;
  • a request to make emerging viral pathogen claims;
  • a description of how the product meets the eligibility criteria for use against one or more categories of viral pathogens consistent with the guidance;
  • the identification of the virus(es) from the product label that you are using to support the emerging viral pathogen claims and the study ID number (MRID) that supports the claim;
  • an up-to-date matrix (Form 8570-35); and
  • a request to add the Terms of Registration outlined in Attachment I of the Emerging Viral Pathogens Guidance.

Registrants should also submit a revised master label with a separate section for emerging viral pathogen claims that includes the generic claim statements identified in Attachment I of the Emerging Viral Pathogens guidance document.

Submit your application via the CDX portal. 

If approved, your product will be added to the list during the next update.
