Humasis Obtains European Self-Use Certification for Self-Test Kit

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] Humasis announced that it has obtained the European self-testing certification (CE-Self testing) for its self-test kit as of the 16th (local time).

The self-test kit certified this time is the ‘Humasis COVID-19 Ag Home Test,’ which received official approval in Korea last year. With the spread of the Omicron variant in Europe and the increasing demand for personal use products, the company expects that this certification will expand its supply channels within Europe.

Humasis is supplying self-test kits to countries in Europe such as the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria. After the domestic situation stabilizes, the company plans to further expand supply to existing overseas clients.

Currently, Humasis is making every effort to expand domestic supply in close cooperation with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety due to the increasing demand for self-test kits in Korea. Within the possible range, some of the quantities originally intended for export are being prioritized and converted to domestic supply.

Cha Jeonghak, CEO of Humasis, stated, "We are making our best efforts to quickly supply products to domestic pharmacies, convenience stores, and marts through the already secured distribution network," adding, "In response to the increasing demand for self-test kits, we are reviewing all possible ways to increase the company’s production volume and will expand additional production as soon as possible."
