EAEU: Common requirements for skin antiseptics published

Specific requirements applicable to skin antiseptics have been included into Part 20, Chapter II of the Common Sanitary and Hygienic Requirements for Products Subject to Sanitary Supervision in the EAEU.

As a result, it has become possible to perform toxicology and safety evaluation for any skin antiseptic (skin sanitiser) in accordance with any method included into Part 20.

The amendments also provide a clear definition of a “skin antiseptic”. It has been defined as “a disinfecting product that has antimicrobial properties and that is intended for treating non-damaged skin, except for products that are classified as medicines and are subject to registration as medicines or medical devices”.
