Position Paper of the Committee for Biological Agents on the Laboratory Biorisk Management Standard (CWA 15793:2008)
The Committee for Biological Agents (ABAS) reaches the conclusion that the requirements of the Laboratory Biorisk Management Standard CWA 15793:2008 are largely met in Germany through compliance with existing national legislation. The CWA document does not quote any laws or specify assignments to risk groups. The document is deliberately generic in nature in order to accommodate national differences.
