| Abstract |
This report proposes an approach for testing the safety of biotechnology plants, based on the German Regulation for Hazardous Substances "Safety Technology" (Technische Regeln für Gefarhstoffe "Sicherheitstechnik", TRGS 300). It takes into account the specific aspects of biological substances as well as the working procedures of the biotechnology industry. Reference is made to current legal requirements in Germany. The validity of the approach is illustrated by reference to several of examples of plants and working procedures. The specific case of genetic engineering is discussed. Detailed summary in English and French. |
