The testing laboratory HygCen
The accredited testing laboratory HygCen Germany GmbH was founded on March 7, 1996 by Prof. Dr. med. Heinz-Peter Werner as a medical specialist in hygiene based on decades of practical experience and knowledge of the real and unsecured problems of infection prevention. On July 1st, 2013, Dr. med. univ. Sebastian Werner also as a medical specialist in hygiene, took on the professional and entrepreneurial succession in the family business in the second generation.
Since the first day, HygCen Germany has been improving healthcare product quality worldwide for the protection of patients and users. Our employees test whether your medical devices are biologically harmless. In the entire testing process, we check with sound methodology, according to all common standards and always without animal experiments. The test methods used by us are regularly accredited by DAkkS. We cultivate an eye-to-eye relationship with our clients and with each other as a team.
Together we accompany you with our quality assurance tests from the first product idea to the final market approval and beyond. Just contact us via our form.
Accreditations from HygCen
The accredited testing laboratory HygCen Germany works according to national, European and international standards. These standards are dependent on technical progress and always new issues that arise in industry, hospitals and by product users. The individual states and institutions regularly update the legal requirements so that HygCen has to react swiftly to the new test specifications. We counter this with high professional competence and lean structures. In this way, we have the right tests ready for you for every relevant policy change. If necessary, we also develop individual test methods according to your specifications and needs in accordance with the latest state of science and technology.

Test laboratories based in Germany must be accredited according to EN ISO / IEC 17025. Since 2010, the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) has been responsible for this. It monitors certification bodies and already accredited laboratories and orders new accreditations.
