Review of Standards for Disinfectants; and associated guidance

The Australian TGA have initiated a review into hard surface disinfectants. The TGA

invites comments on their proposed update. It is intended that the updated TGO will incorporate all relevant regulatory requirements, comprising:

Updated sections of TGO 54 that clarify existing requirements,

The labelling requirements of the former TGO 37(which has now sunset), and,

Standards and requirements contained within the guidelines for the evaluation of disinfectants.
