The above is a common and very expensive mistake made by
companies selling surface protection products that contain an
EPA registered antimicrobial from another company. If a product
makes claims beyond protecting the product it has been
incorporated into then YES it does have to be registered with
the EPA.

In other words, an EPA registed antimicrobial can be added to
paint with the claim that it helps protect the paint but it
cannot make the claim that it protects the surface from
contamination unless the entire product is registered.

Do the EPA a favor and give them everything you have on the
company that contacted you.
