Because of the Covid-19 health crisis, ECHA accelerates and simplifies the usual processes to commercialise biocidal products. Exceptional measures have been taken for biocides which active substance (AS) has already been approved to avoid that the MA (Marketing Authorisation) should take several months, or more, as is usually the case.
Thus, a Member State is temporarily authorised to accept the commercialisation on its national market of a product which has not yet submitted an authorisation dossier or obtained validation. This is also true for products composed of a new AS. Additionally, ECHA established a quick process, specially for propanol-based products, allowing to obtain a technical equivalence in a short period of time for products using a new source of propanol.
Regarding AS still under evaluation, no specific measure was taken because their MA depends on member states, which is already, in itself, a simplification. In France for example derogatory measures have been taken, allowing, among other things, not to have to comply with Article 95, temporarily. However, it should be noted that the usual transitory measures will go back to applying at the end of this period (1st September 2020). This date will need to be anticipated as best as possible to stay compliant.

Hand sanitizers and disinfectants need to comply with several regulations in order to be placed on the European market. Because of their disinfectant action, they are considered biocidal products. Outside of any exemption, the requirements are:
Additionally, other steps need to be taken depending on the AS:
Disinfectants and hand sanitizers are biocidal products since they contain an active substance capable of destroying harmful organisms through chemical action. The disinfectant function of these products corresponds to 3 types of products out of the 22 that exist:
You can look through the details of the different product types on our dedicated �key concept� page.
Ecomundo guides you through all the steps of your biocidal products� compliance, specifically disinfectants and hand sanitizers to prevent any potential shortage affecting these products in the context of Covid-19 pandemic.
