What is a DIN Number?
One of the benefits of living in a country like Canada is that we have organizations like Health Canada that are responsible for ensuring that the products we purchase have undergone extensive testing to ensure that they are safe for us to use.
WHAT IS A DIN NUMBER?
A DIN number is an eight digit Drug Identification Number that is a computer-generated and assigned by Health Canada to a drug product before being marketed in Canada. Most chemicals used in Canada as disinfectants or antimicrobials like disinfectant cleaners, disinfectant wipes, antibacterial hand soaps and sanitizers are regulated as drugs. The DIN verifies that the product has been independently tested and proven to be an effective disinfectant and the DIN number will be printed on the label to show that the product has been evaluated and authorized for sale in Canada.
It is important to note that any products used in Canada that come from other countries must meet the criteria of the Canadian standards and carry a DIN number.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
A professional cleaner will be trained in the correct use of cleaning and disinfecting products. By using products that meet high quality, health approved standards, they can ensure that each area of your facility is cleaned and disinfected properly. Your cleaner will also know that many of these products carry an expiry date and must be disposed of according to the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid environmental issues.
As you can see, being able to use cleaning products safely is not just about how a company cleans with them; it’s also about how products are stored, diluted and disposed of. Each step in the process needs to be handled properly as there can be serious environmental consequences if not done correctly.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
With so many things to consider, we at Wright Cleaning Services Inc. have found that our clients are happy to hand over the cleaning and disinfecting of their facilities to us. They know that they will no longer have to worry about whether their environments are being clean and sanitized properly. By sitting down together we can work out a specific plan that suits each workplace’s unique needs.
Covid-19 has taught us that we need to be diligent in our processes. We need to clean and disinfect correctly to avoid the transfer of not only this virus but colds, flu and other types of germs. More than ever, we understand that we do have some control. We can fight back against the pathogens that can assault our bodies and make us sick.
Workplaces have come to understand that healthy employees are more productive and happier. Providing a clean and sanitary environment for them also shows that they really care about them. We would be happy to help ease the strain of worrying about the cleanliness of your facility. We are just a phone call away and ready to make your life easier.
