Dr Brill + Partner GmbH will take over the regulatory affairs consultancy business of Knieler & Team GmbH at the turn of the year.

"With this move, we are expanding our services to include another area of expertise: regulatory affairs, focusing on biocide authorisations and medical device issues. We are responding to the requests of many of our clients and see great potential for growth in this area," says Dr Florian Brill.

Continuity and competence are guaranteed by Dr Gunnar Kleist. He will continue to manage and expand the activities of the independent Dr Brill Regulatory Services GmbH under the umbrella of the impartial Dr Brill + Partner GmbH. 

"A great solution for everyone involved. The takeover gives our clients the security of receiving top consulting services in the future," says Dr Roland Knieler: "I will push the development of ecologically beneficial disinfectants with Knieler & Team GmbH".

The services are now available on the new website www.brillregulatory.com.

The British Standard PAS 2424 is very popular with many of our clients. It is designed for bactericidal and levurocidal efficacy of chemical disinfectants on non-porous surfaces. But did you know that we also offer the standard for virucidal issues? If you are interested in testing, or if you would like to learn more about the modifications that were necessary for virucidal questions, we are at your disposal. Take the chance now to test your product according to PAS 2424.

The draft of the Guidance on the Biocidal Products Regulation, available since the beginning of the year in the now 6th version, includes for the first time concrete requirements for the testing of protective agents for liquids in cooling and process systems (PT 11) as well as slimicides (PT 12). The required methods, such as ASTM E645 or E1839, have been established in our laboratory for years, enabling us to implement the tests at short notice. Our Scientific Service will be pleased to assist you in selecting the appropriate test conditions for your very specific application. If claims for efficacy against biofilms are desired, we also have suitable test methods in our portfolio. We look forward to your inquiries!
