Disinfection product filing (ζΆζ―δΊ§εε€ζ‘) is a mandatory notification procedure administered by the local health authority (Health Commission) for imported disinfectants and antiseptic products. Whether your product is a surface disinfectant spray, hand sanitizer gel, or antibacterial wipes, you must complete a health authority product notification before the products can be legally sold or distributed in the Chinese market. This process involves product formula review, efficacy testing according to GB 27952 and other technical standards, and Chinese label compliance evaluation.
Our disinfection product filing service guides foreign manufacturers through the entire China disinfectant compliance journey. We coordinate laboratory testing at CNAS-accredited labs, prepare all documentation in Chinese, and submit the notification on your behalf. With our support, you can navigate the imported disinfection product registration requirements without a local office.
Our Disinfection Product Filing Process
1. Product Classification & Scope Check
We determine whether your product falls under Category A, B, or C disinfectant classification and confirm the applicable GB testing standards for your specific product type.
2. Efficacy & Safety Testing
Your samples undergo mandatory disinfectant efficacy testing (e.g., killing log value, stability) and safety assessments at a Chinese CDC-accredited laboratory. We manage the entire testing coordination.
3. Document Preparation & Label Review
We compile the required dossier, including product formula, test reports, and Chinese label artwork that meets health authority labeling specifications for disinfection products.
4. Submission & Notification Certificate
We submit the complete application to the local health authority. Once accepted, you receive the disinfection product notification certificate, which remains valid as long as the product specifications remain unchanged.
Products That Require Disinfection Product Filing
Any imported disinfectant or antiseptic product that comes into contact with skin, surfaces, or medical devices must complete health authority notification. Common categories include:
- Surface Disinfectants: sprays, wipes, and solutions for hard surfaces, floors, and medical environments
- Hand Hygiene Products: alcohol-based hand sanitizers, antibacterial hand washes, and hand rubs
- Skin Antiseptics: pre-surgical skin preparations, wound antiseptics, and iodine-based solutions
- Instrument Disinfectants: products for medical device and endoscope reprocessing
- Laundry & Fabric Disinfectants: bleaching solutions and antibacterial fabric sprays
If your product makes claims of sterilization or is used on critical medical devices, it may require a more stringent disinfectant registration rather than a simple filing. Contact us with your product specifications for a free classification assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Disinfection Product Filing
What is disinfection product filing and who needs it?
Disinfection product filing is the mandatory health authority notification for imported disinfectants, antiseptics, and sterilization products sold in China.
