Temperature-controlled transport

What happens in case of a temperature deviation during temperature-controlled transport?

Temperature deviations in temperature-controlled transport must be documented and assessed depending on goods, duration and temperature range.

A temperature deviation during temperature-controlled transport must be documented, assessed and coordinated with the parties involved. The decisive factors are how significant the deviation was, how long it lasted and which requirements apply to the goods.

Especially for pharmaceutical products, sensitive food or chemical products, even short interruptions in the cold chain can be relevant. Causes range from long border waiting times and technical issues to unclear temperature specifications in the transport documents.

GLOBALSPED considers topics such as temperature monitoring, vehicle selection and realistic route planning for temperature-controlled international transports. Which measures are necessary always depends on product group, temperature range, consignee requirements and destination country.
