Pharma Deutschland warns against reclassification of ethanol
In the course of the evaluation of ethanol as a biocidal active substance, Greece is currently examining the classification of ethanol as a CMR substance. The associations of the German healthcare industry are looking with great concern at ECHA’s classification procedure.
Ethanol is used in particular in disinfectants and in the manufacture of medical products and medicines. It is indispensable in the healthcare sector as its antimicrobial properties are effective against bacteria and viruses. During the pandemic, ethanol-based disinfectants ensured that chains of infection were broken.
We, ACA-pharma concept GmbH, support the associations of the German healthcare industry and are participating in the ECHA’s call for consultation.
