Input about the process of registering with the EPA to sell disinfectant
Hi all,I am currently looking into the registration process with the EPA for a disinfectant that we are able to manufacture in the fight against Covid-19. It is a type of disinfectant that is considered a pesticide and that is already on the market, we just aren’t registered to sell it yet, and are considering it.I am curious if anyone here has experience with the EPA registration process:- how long it took- what the cost was- would you recommend working with a consultant or is it possible to do this without one- is the data requirements and testing process complicated- generally if it was a difficult process and worth the effort of registeringI know some of the answers here are “it depends”, I am just looking for personal experience and advice you may have with any of the points above. Thanks so much in advance for anyone able to shed light on this. -

@Marit assuming you folks have not developed a new formulation concept but emulated one of the EPA registered ones, I’ll suggest sub-registering with a formulator of record. You are also advised to seek out a consultant. Even the peeps at EPA advise this. If this is a truly novel approach then you will need to spend >$100,000 in testing requirements plus the registration fee ($4000 per if I remember last time) plus a lot more fees to the consultant. First step is to get that facility and company number registration from EPA. You cannot get anywhere without those.
