Why is EPA Registration Important
All products making claims to destroy or suppress the growth of microorganisms such as mold and/or mildew on inanimate objects and surfaces must submit chemical makeup, acceptable data on product performance (effectiveness), toxicological effects, ecological effects and ecological fate to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) for approval of such claims. All US pesticide products, including wood preservatives, are regulated by EPA and may not be sold with such claims until EPA has approved the formulations and granted an EPA Registration number which must then appear on the product label.
