Pharma / cold-chain mode
A GDP checklist for temperature-controlled pharma air cargo. Every step cites its public base. Airline cold-room capacity is shown honestly as "not connected" — never invented.
+2 °C to +8 °C (refrigerated)
-
☐Confirm the product's required range (+2 °C to +8 °C (refrigerated)) and apply the IATA Time & Temperature Sensitive Label.Basis: IATA Temperature Control Regulations (TCR) + Time & Temperature Sensitive Label.
-
☐Use qualified packaging validated for this lane: active (powered) or passive (insulated + phase-change materials) rated for the transit duration and ambient extremes.Basis: EU GDP Guidelines 2013/C 343/01.
-
☐Continuous temperature monitoring with a data logger, documented end-to-end (origin → destination), with an excursion SOP.Basis: EU GDP Guidelines 2013/C 343/01.
-
☐Prefer a CEIV Pharma-certified airline, ground handler and forwarder, with qualified cold facilities at each transit point.Basis: IATA CEIV Pharma certification.
-
☐GDP-trained personnel for everyone who handles the shipment; qualified storage/transport equipment.Basis: EU GDP Guidelines 2013/C 343/01.
-
☐Minimise transhipments — every handoff is a temperature-excursion risk. Prefer the most direct routing.Basis: EU GDP Guidelines 2013/C 343/01.
Routing & transfers
Give origin and destination to see the great-circle distance. Prefer the routing with the fewest transfers (fewer handoffs = lower excursion risk).

— Airline cold capacity · not connected
Which airlines currently have active cold rooms / active cold-chain capacity is not connected — verify directly with the airline, or look for IATA CEIV Pharma certification. TrackJet shows no invented capacity.
