Do your cold chain logistics comply with GDP requirements?
Good Distribution Practices of medicines at the centre of the discussions
Temperature compliance is an essential condition for ensuring the integrity of medicines which need to be kept at specific environmental conditions.
The complexity of the logistical circuit, risks during shipping, lack of adequate infrastructure, etc. can compromise the pharmaceutical products being shipped. Even by effectively anticipating the risks during transportation, shipping conditions are never entirely transparent.
This is why it is essential, though not exclusive, to choose a high performance insulated shipping packaging solution.
All pharmaceutical manufacturers are subject to compliance with the Good Distribution Practice of medicines (GDP). An essential point of reference, but it can be subject to interpretation:
- How to ship in accordance with GDP?
- What criteria to request at the time of writing the specifications for your choice of insulated packaging?
- How can you ensure the insulated shipping packaging solution used complies with GDP requirements?
Given the increasingly precise shipping regulations for medicines, these questions need to be asked. Our experts at the CSS conference will be there to respond to them.
