In Italy, products marketed as disinfectants, insecticides, insect repellents, rodenticides, and raticides are defined as medical devices (PMCs) and can only be placed on the market if the competent authority deems that they meet the requirements defined by the regulatory framework, namely DPR 392/1998 and subsequent provisions.
PMCs play a crucial role in numerous sectors, from healthcare to the food industry. Their production and marketing are subject to strict regulations to ensure consumer safety and product efficacy.
