Project

German Contribution to Strengthen the Reference Laboratories Bio in the UNSGM (RefBio)

The project aims at strengthening the UN Secretary-General’s Mechanism (UNSGM) that was established to investigate allegations concerning the use of chemical and biological weapons. For possible UNSGM missions, the UN maintains a roster of reference laboratories that are listed by the UN member countries. Within the project, those reference laboratories shall be strengthened in their detection and diagnostics methods to ensure quality assurance of the interpretation of results. Moreover, the project intends to establish an assessment scheme for laboratory results and to contribute to the definition of minimal standards for reference laboratories within the UNSGM. Project activities include the organization of meetings, workshops and external quality assurance exercises (EQAEs) for bacteria, viruses and bio toxins, complemented by an EQA on SARS-CoV-2 in 2020/2021.
