Temperature-controlled transport

What does GDP mean in pharmaceutical logistics?

GDP describes quality requirements for the storage and transport of pharmaceutical products with a focus on temperature, safety and documentation.

GDP stands for Good Distribution Practice and describes quality requirements for the storage, handling and transport of pharmaceutical products. The goal is to maintain the quality, safety and integrity of sensitive medicines along the supply chain.

GDP includes requirements for temperature control, hygiene, documentation, traceability, risk management and controlled transport processes, among other things. Especially in international transport, transit time, border handling and coordination between different parties also play an important role.

GLOBALSPED organizes GDP-compliant transports based on the requirements specified by the client and takes temperature ranges, route, transit time and transport-relevant processes into account.
