SWISS forwarding giant Kuehne + Nagel and aviation lobby International Air Transport Association (IATA) have announced first-in-the-industry IATA CEIV re-certification of the entire KN PharmaChain GxP Compliant Air Logistics network, which now includes 94 locations worldwide.
Development of IATA CEIV Pharma is a response to the demands of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and sets the standard for pharmaceutical shipments via air freight. In 2017, Kuehne + Nagel was the first to achieve IATA CEIV Pharma certification for its entire KN PharmaChain Air network.
A thorough review conducted by IATA CEIV Pharma auditors has proved once again that corporately developed quality standards, operational processes and training programmes fully comply with IATA requirements, thus confirming the highest quality, safety of the award-winning KN PharmaChain product.
Transparency and control of documentation are achieved via a validated document management system (DMS) that manages all standard operating procedures (SOPs) and working instructions. During the transportation process, KN PharmaChain customers can benefit from real-time monitoring and visibility through the use of active transmitting sensors and proactive intervention via the dedicated 24/7/365 Pharma CareTeam.
Said K+N air logistics development chief Reinier Danckaarts: 'Together with IATA and our supply chain partners, we will keep driving this standard to ensure service excellence and first-in-class performance of our transportation service.'
