Overview of genetic engineering work in Germany 2023. An exact specification is not possible for the genetic engineering work carried out at security/safety level 1, as the operators are obliged to record further work at security/safety level 1 in accordance with § 9 GenTG, but there is no obligation to notify or notify the competent state authority. This means that further S1 work is not recorded in the official databases. Source: © ZKBS/BVL
