Understand how ANVISA’s regulation impacts the classification of odor neutralizers and QR Group’s role in adapting to standards.

The classification of odor neutralizers has raised doubts in the market, especially about whether they should be treated as cosmetics or sanitizers. RDC Resolution No. 752, of 2022, and RDC No. 59, of 2010, provide the guidelines for this definition, but the correct choice depends on the type of authorization to operate the company. QR Group, a specialist in health regulation, helps companies understand and comply with ANVISA regulations, ensuring compliance and agility in the process of regularizing their products.

Impacts of Odor Neutralizer Classification

Odor neutralizers, such as room deodorants and flavorings, can be classified in two ways, depending on the purpose and category of the company’s operating authorization: as cosmetics or as sanitizers. According to RDC No. 752, products intended to perfume environments in general are classified as cosmetics, while those intended for specific environments or with antimicrobial properties must be classified as sanitizing.

The Regulation for Cosmetics and Sanitizers

According to RDC No. 752/2022, products that aim to aromatize environments, without claims of antimicrobial or repellent properties, can be regularized as cosmetics. However, if the product is intended to perfume specific surfaces or has antimicrobial properties, it qualifies as a sanitizer. The key to correct classification lies in defining the use of the product, which includes its purpose and the way it is used.
