Action Code Interpretation

An application that requires the review of a new public health efficacy protocol, or a major change to an existing efficacy method (e.g. AOAC International, ASTM, AATCC, EPA guideline 810, or an AD approved method described in A431). Applies to a study design that requires review by external members of an ad hoc AD Efficacy Protocol Review Expert Panel. A draft label with proposed directions for use and use claims must accompany the protocol and the application, along with proposed performance measures. The draft label submitted with this application will not be reviewed or approved under this category. Examples of major protocol changes would include surrogate consideration, field test component, simulated or in‐use testing, changes in growth conditions [e.g., novel protocols for products with label claims that don’t meet the current recommended conventional sterilant/disinfectant/sanitizer standards (e.g., treated materials). A pre‐registration meeting is recommended prior to submission of the protocol. The Agency will make every effort during this meeting to determine if the protocol is Tier 2.
