Sterilization traceability for piercing studios in Germany

Piercing is regulated under the same framework as tattooing — IfSG §36(2) plus your Bundesland's Hygieneverordnung. SecuSteri documents every sterilization cycle for instruments and jewelry.

What the Gesundheitsamt expects from piercing studios

Gesundheitsamt (local health authority) · Trade office (Gewerbeamt)

Piercing studios are regulated under the same IfSG §36(2) framework as tattoo studios. All instruments penetrating the skin or contacting mucous membranes must be sterile. First-insertion jewelry must be sterile and comply with REACH/DIN EN 1811 nickel limits. Reusable jewelry must be sterilized between clients. A written Hygieneplan and annual staff hygiene training are required. The Gesundheitsamt inspects and can order closure.
