Various anonymisation and pseudonymisation techniques exist, some of which are standardized. Nevertheless, the risk of a data breach for anonymised data and therefore that of re-identification of individuals remain significant. Therefore, institutions and commercial companies that may create or disseminate databases without identifiers are thus looking for a simple tool to measure this extreme risk of re-identification.

For the last six years there has been a recurring debate in Europe on the trace chemicals found in absorbent hygiene products (AHPs). This debate was triggered by articles on this topic published in consumer magazines which raised questions on the safety of AHPs, and led to a so-called restriction proposal for the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) to restrict the use of chemicals in absorbent hygiene products. The process concluded in 2022, and while it found that the risks could not be demonstrated, it did conclude that there is a strong need for a harmonized analytical method that delivers robust and accurate test results.
