List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2

"The EPA-registered surface disinfectant products on our Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2 list have qualified under EPA's emerging viral pathogen program for use against SARS-CoV-2, a coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses, meaning they are one of the easiest types of viruses to kill with the appropriate disinfectant product. 
EPA strongly recommends following the product label use directions for enveloped viruses, as indicated by the approved emerging viral pathogen claim on the master label.

How to Use the List
  1. Locate the EPA Registration Number on the disinfectant 
  2. Look for that number on List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2
  3. Click on a product’s Registration Number  
  4. Look for the Emerging Viral Pathogens Claims section on the master label 
  5. Look for the Enveloped Virus information in the chart to find which organism’s directions for use you should follow
  6. Go to the product label and follow the directions for use against the listed organism
    • If there are multiple organisms listed, use the longest contact time, and if applicable, the highest concentration.."
