Customers in Germany

Any work or contact with pathogenic micro-organisms, or with substances containing pathogenic microorganisms, is regulated by the German Protection Against Infection Act (Infektionsschutz-gesetz - IfSG). According to § 52 of this law, disease causing organisms, as well as substances containing disease causing organisms, may only be supplied to such persons who have a permit according to § 44 of the IfSG; who work under supervision of somebody in possession of a permit; or who do not require a permit according to § 45, sections 1, 2, 3 of the IfSG. This regulation does not apply to state owned medical or veterinary institutions. Microbiological materials distributed by LGC Standards might contain microorganisms with a biosafety level (BSL) of 1 or 2. These materials contain microorganisms in natural concentrations only. All customers who order products with the biosafety levels 1 or 2 are therefore formally requested to submit a copy of their permit to work with disease causing organisms according to § 44 of the IfSG, or send us a written statement confirming that they do not need a permit according to § 45 of the IfSG.
