SHAPTH and XWasser: Is Your Laboratory Ready for 2027?
From January 2027, SHAPTH becomes the mandatory channel for reporting drinking water data in Germany. Existing interfaces such as LabDüs, NiWaDaB, Octoware and SEBAM will be phased out. A SHAPTH-compatible LIMS is not enough on its own. In most projects, the difficulty is in the master data quality, the mapping and the reporting workflows, not the interface itself.
Our SHAPTH Readiness Assessment covers a gap analysis of your current data and processes, a mapping concept for the SHAPTH exchange format, support during implementation, end-to-end testing in the SHAPTH test environment, and training for your team before go-live.
Services Relating to Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Laboratory Execution Systems (LES)
High demands are placed on a laboratory from various sides, here are just a few examples:
- Laboratory personnel expect good quality results with predictable costs.
- External bodies expect compliance with regulatory requirements and correct results.
- Laboratory managers want an environment that can be quickly adapted to new requirements and allows them to work efficiently. Automation should make time-consuming work easier and reduce paperwork.
- The quality assurance wants a system that makes every process traceable, ensures data integrity, enables the harmonization of reporting and the validation of results and allows a digital approval process. And all of this must comply with current regulations and standards.
- The IT wants centralized, scalable and stable software with as little maintenance and configuration effort as possible. In addition, cost efficiency and, nowadays, relocation to the cloud are driving factors.
- The laboratory technicians want an easy-to-use system that can be used without a great deal of training.
The selection, implementation, configuration, validation, maintenance, archiving, decommissioning, operation or an update must therefore be carefully planned, implemented and documented.
