How to Use Products on this List Effectively

The contact time is the time the product must be applied to the surface for it to be effective.

  • The contact time is the time the product must be applied to the treated surface for it to be effective against pathogens. The contact time for medical waste treatment products may vary depending on the concentration of the product to be applied

How to Check if a product is on EPA’s Registered Antimicrobial Products for Medical Waste Treatment [List J]

  • Find the EPA registration number on the product label. Look for “EPA Reg. No.” followed by two, as described on the List Landing Page.
  • Supplemental distributer products are not included in the lists. For example, if EPA Reg. No. 12345-12 is on the lists, you can buy EPA Reg. No. 12345-12-2567 and know you’re getting an equivalent product.
  • On the product list, search the registration number exactly as it appears on the label.
  • Once you see the results on the product list, make sure to check that the product's label includes directions for use as a medical waste treatment under Use Directions for Sterilization.
    • Regardless of whether you are using a primary registration product or a supplemental distributor product, always check the label has the corresponding directions for use for the relevant pathogen.
