The area of consumer goods therefore encompasses an extraordinarily broad spectrum of differently composed matrices, which pose a challenge from an analytical perspective. For the assessment with regard to health and consumer protection, national and European legal regulations from the areas of food, chemical and product safety law must be taken into account.
The working group has the relevant experts for all areas.
The working group was founded in 1979 and currently has 20 active and 25 corresponding members. The members come from the following areas:
- Manufacturers
- Trade
- Service providers (private quality control)
- University
- Federal authorities
- Materials monitoring
