Materials and products inevitably come into contact with microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses during their lifetime.

GWP is your partner for determining the microbial degradability or degradation resistance of your product, developing customized test procedures for evaluating different products and for independent quality control. Whether airborne or soil and waterborne microbes, GWP supports you in quality assurance and the development of new test methods.

An excerpt of our test portfolio:

Mobile air purification devices are of particular importance in the context of pandemic preparedness. The GWP AV384 provides a standardised procedure for testing the effectiveness of these devices. This procedure is technology-independent and allows an evaluation of the efficiency of the device and an assessment of its suitability for the usage scenarios of classrooms, offices, production halls, meeting rooms and many more.
