Why attend the Frankfurt Customer Day?
The Frankfurt Customer Day is more than a technical event. It is an opportunity to gain practical insights into the latest regulatory expectations and to discuss current challenges with TÜV SÜD experts across testing, toxicology, certification, and Global Market Access.
The event positions chemical characterization as a critical foundation for regulatory confidence, biological risk management, and market readiness.
A key highlight is the introduction of TÜV SÜD's BRL laboratory in Frankfurt, providing medical device manufacturers in Europe with local access to BRL testing services while benefiting from the expertise of TÜV SÜD's global laboratory network.
