Electronics insurance

Highly specialized, expensive equipment is used in modern laboratories and production areas - from PCR cyclers and autoclaves to complex air conditioning or extraction systems. Even minor operating errors or technical defects can cause major damage. Laboratory electronics insurance offers tailor-made all-risk cover for your sensitive equipment.

What does electronics insurance cover in the laboratory sector?

  • Personal injury due to contact with genetically modified microorganisms
  • Material damage, for example due to contamination or accidental release
  • Environmental liability if genetically modified organisms are released into the environment
  • Liability under the Genetic Engineering Act and, where applicable, the Environmental Liability Act (UmweltHG)
  • Recourse claims from authorities in the event of incidents for which they are not responsible
  • Damage to research partners, e.g. in joint laboratory projects or outsourced analyses

 

The insurance cover can be customized - depending on the size of the laboratory, risk class, type of genetic engineering work and organisms used. Combinations with other policies such as public and product liability or special insurance for clinical studies are also possible.
