Services

Regulatory Compliance Gap Analysis• Can address the full range of regulatory /

accreditation requirements for an organization’s cold chain

• Documents the appropriate regulations and guidelines to which an organization must comply

• Identifies any deficiencies and can develop a remediation plan for addressing the deficiencies

• Overall areas that can be addressed include:■ Regulatory gap analysis■ Validation master plans■ Remediation plans■ CAPA programs■ Risk analyses■ Review & development of standard operating

procedures (SOPs)■ Staff training

Transport Qualification & Validation Services

• Show how the transport system, operations and processes are performed according to predetermined specifications and criteria.

• Provides experience and value-added knowledge around cGMP and GDP compliance and regulatory inspections for trailer qualification and transport validation for controlled-environment logistics worldwide

Package Design and Testing• Identify and design an optimum

packaging solution for protecting temperature sensitive products

• Ensure packaging is cost effective and compliant regulatory requirements

• Test and qualify existing cold chain packaging or design new cold chain packaging

• Confirm packaging complies with cold chain requirements

• Works with companies to perform regulatory qualifications

■ Component specification (CS)■ Design testing (DT)■ Operational qualification (OQ)■ Performance qualification (PQ)

Shipping Studies• Document the environmental hazards

to which products may be exposed inside a distribution system.

• Creation of ambient profiles that accurately reflect the conditions a product may be exposed to assist in identifying appropriate logistics partners and transportation modes

• Temperature data is collected throughout the distribution system and under a variety of conditions

• Data analysis, development of relevant profiles and preparation of all regulatory documentation is included

Temperature Mapping Studies• Objective of a temperature mapping is

to document temperatures within defined areas where temperature sensitive products are shipped or stored.

• Examples of areas to be mapped:■ Refrigerators■ Transport trailers■ Warehouses

• Follow a proven methodology:■ Protocols are written and pre-approved■ NIST traceable loggers are provided■ Comprehensive documentation of

temperature conditions during the study are provided, hot and cold spots identified

■ On-going monitoring requirements addressed

■ Opportunities for improvement identified
