News from the expert groups: Dr. Brill Institutes supports important projects of CEN TC 216

On April 16 and 17, 2024, the online meeting of Working Group 1 "human-medicine area" took place under the leadership of convenor Professor Katrin Steinhauer.

Several strategically important projects are supported by various scientists from Dr. Brill Institutes. For example, Dr. Dajana Paulmann is in charge of the development of the 4-field test in the area of virucidal testing, where data from the latest round robin test has been discussed. In addition, we are also part of the group for the qualification of reference substances for various test viruses. Dr. Florian H. H. Brill, together with Dr. Dajana Paulmann and Dr. Britta Becker, has also taken over the project management for the replacement of the poliovirus in EN 14476, which is to be completed by 2026. Additionally, Dr. Brill, together with Anna Ulatowski, is running the project to revise EN 14348 for mycobactericidal effectiveness testing. Henrik Gabriel provides significant support for the revision of the EN 14561/2/3 standards.

For Dr. Brill, involvement in these committees is a matter of course and is part of the company's DNA.
