In this way, the months-long wait normally required to process the request and obtain the authorisation to market the product can be avoided. This quicker, more flexible procedure is aimed at reducing the supply problems professionals and private citizens are experiencing.  Although the procedure has been simplified, the products must still meet the terms and parameters set out in the extraordinary resolution. The full text of the resolution is in the attachment.  The extraordinary homologation of these products is valid until 31 August 2020.  [Download the document](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ECSA_Chemicals_Nuovi-disinfettanti-per-il-mercato-svizzero_allegato_20200429.cleaned-2.pdf) --- #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/new-disinfectants-for-the-swiss-market) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/new-disinfectants-for-the-swiss-market&text=New%20disinfectants%20for%20the%20Swiss%20market) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/new-disinfectants-for-the-swiss-market) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/new-disinfectants-for-the-swiss-market&text=New%20disinfectants%20for%20the%20Swiss%20marketdescription=To%20satisfy%20the%20numerous%20requests%20for%20disinfecting%20products%20arising%20as%20the%20Covid-19%20pandemic%20spreads,%20ECSA%20has%20started%20producing%20some%20disinfectants%20such%20as%20EUKA[...]&media=https://27166650.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/27166650/Imported_Blog_Media/ECSA_Chemicals_Nuovi-disinfettanti-per-il-mercato-svizzero_immagine_20200429.jpg) #### [Maintenance of stock: confirmation of essential activities Previous post](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/maintenance-of-stock-confirmation-of-essential-activities) #### [Far from families to guarantee the service Next post](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/far-from-families-to-guarantee-the-service) #### You might also be interested in: ### [Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, Methyl 2-methylbutyrate](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/ethyl-2-methylbutyrate-and-methyl-2-methylbutyrate) [Expert advice ,](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/expert-advice) [Purchase advice ,](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/purchase-advice) [Products](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/products) ### [Dextrose - probably the best-known simple sugar](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/dextrose-probably-the-best-known-simple-sugar) [Purchase advice ,](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/purchase-advice) [Products](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/products) ### [Guide to the use of hydroxy acids in cosmetic products](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/guide-to-the-use-of-hydroxy-acids-in-cosmetic-products) [Expert advice ,](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/expert-advice) [Products](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/tag/products) ## Stay connected ### Receive the latest information and news from the chemistry world [![ecsa chemicals](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/hubfs/ECSA_Chemicals_April2025/Images/logo.svg "ecsa chemicals")](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/) Social Associations and partners - [RSPO](https://www.rspo.org/) - [AssICC](https://www.assicconline.it/) - [Scienceindustries](https://www.scienceindustries.ch/) - [FECC](https://www.fecc.org/) - [Sedex](https://www.sedex.com/) - [IFEAT](https://ifeat.org/) - [SEPAWA](https://www.sepawa.com/) - [Bio Suisse](https://www.bio-suisse.ch/) - [World Chemical Distributor Directory](https://chemical-distributors.com/) - [EFEO](https://www.efeo.eu/) - [Cosmetica Italia](https://www.cosmeticaitalia.it/) - [Bioagricert](https://www.bioagricert.org/) - [Farma industria](https://www.farmaindustriaticino.ch/) - [Carlo Erba Reagents](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/carlo-erba-reagents/) - [Contact us](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/contact/) - [Catalogs](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/catalogues/) - [Suppliers](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/suppliers/) - [Career](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/about-us/career/) - [We Are ECSA](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/about-us/we-are-ecsa/) 2026 ECSA Group.
