What the law requires of a Dutch piercing studio

NVWA · 25 GGD regions · LCHV · RIVM

Piercing studios operate under the same Warenwetbesluit on tattooing and piercing (BWBR0021605) as tattoo studios, with the same three-year GGD permit. The LCHV hygiene guideline for piercing is the operational standard. All skin-penetrating instruments must be sterile; reusable instruments — forceps, receiving tubes, needle holders — must be sterilized between clients. First-set jewelry must be sterile and compliant with the nickel-release requirements of NEN-EN 1811. A substantial share of piercing instruments is single-use disposable, but every studio still handling reusable instruments needs documented sterilization. The NVWA and GGD exercise supervision.
