Services

The Institute for Hygiene and Public Health is distinguished by its many years of experience and expertise in contract analysis. Especially in our water hygiene laboratories, we offer a full range of chemical, microbial, and hygiene contract analysis. We also provide comprehensive support and advice to hospitals on all aspects of hospital hygiene, conduct on-site inspections, and address specific scientific questions.

In particular, the Disinfectant Testing - Medical Device Reprocessing - Testing department offers the establishment and implementation of test procedures to test the effectiveness of chemical and physical disinfection processes, as well as the provision of cleaning and bioindicators for the performance qualification of manual and automated medical device reprocessing processes.

The Environmental Medicine & Mycology Working Group offers, among other services, the conduct of indoor inspections and airborne microbial sampling in special cases, the processing of scientific questions related to mold growth in indoor spaces, and support during construction projects.

In addition, the IHPH is particularly committed to strengthening hygiene in public spaces (communal hygiene) and everyday hygiene, and integrating it with hygiene in the medical and nursing fields. Accordingly, the following pages provide valuable information about everyday hygiene and its impact on everyday life – starting with the very young with hygiene tips for kids.

We also offer training and continuing education courses. In particular, the basic and refresher training courses on "drinking water sampling" are a central component of the IHPH's range of services.
