Abstract

Sanitizing products with several purposes of use are becoming increasingly popular in the Brazilian market. Consumers are looking for products that keep their homes and environments clean and free of pests. The increasing use of sanitizing products has brought along with it the great responsibility of their regularization. Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency is responsible for approving sanitizing products and post-marketing monitoring to ensure their quality and safety. In this paper, it was carried out a review of legislations that approach registration, notification, packaging and labeling of sanitizing products. These legislations were created with the aim of guiding producing companies, as well as users about the update of relevant information that must appear on each product label, as well as the key features of the packages. This information is necessary to help consumers to properly use products, identify their legitimacy as well as their quality and prevent accidents.
