GERMAN logistics provider Dachser received the Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for its Shanghai organisation.
This marks the finalisation of a project of extensive preparation, complex procedures and detailed auditing, despite additional challenges caused by the global pandemic.
Dachser Shanghai now joins the circle of few logistics companies in the region to be recognised by IATA for temperature-controlled and time-sensitive products transportation.
CEIV Pharma Certificate ensures that infrastructure, equipment, operations, and personnel are complied with the standards and regulations expected by pharmaceutical manufacturers, said the company press release.
'A resilient and reliable logistics network for life science and healthcare (LSH) products has proven critical in light of current events,' said Yves Larquemin, managing director ASL Far East North.
The usual procedure of IATA sending an independent validator to the company's office for assessment and audit was not feasible due to Covid travel restrictions. In an unprecedented and unique move, IATA went with a digital solution for the audit process. This was facilitated by Dachser's already mature digital logistics systems.
