Proyecto de norma oficial mexicana PROY-NOM-138-SSA1-2015, que establece las especificaciones sanitarias del alcohol etílico desnaturalizado, utilizado como material de curación, así como para el alcohol etílico de 96ºg.l. sin desnaturalizar, utilizado como materia prima para la elaboración y/o envasado de alcohol etílico desnaturalizado como material de curación (Draft Mexican Official Standard PROY-NOM-138-SSA1-2015 establishing the sanitary specifications for denatured ethyl alcohol, used as a wound dressing material, for undenatured 96° G.L. ethyl alcohol, used as a raw material in the production of denatured ethyl alcohol as a wound dressing material, and for packaging establishments) (11 pages, in Spanish) ;

Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, is one of the most widely used wound dressing materials, due to its antiseptic properties. However, given that ethyl alcohol can be easily obtained by the general population and is an addictive substance, it may be used inappropriately (ingested), and its consumption may lead to public health problems. Denaturing substances are therefore added to ethyl alcohol, such as denatonium benzoate, sucrose octaacetate and acetone, which give it an unpleasant taste. Nevertheless, it is necessary to issue provisions on the control and processing of this wound dressing material, in order to prevent it from being used for purposes other than those for which it is marketed, namely, to dress wounds. ; ;
