DACHSER renews CEIV Pharma certification

At the end of May, DACHSER’s airport locations Hyderabad and Mumbai renewed their certification for the transport of life science and healthcare products. The certification is granted by IATA’s Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma).

The transport of life science and healthcare products must meet exacting requirements.

The transport of life science and healthcare products must meet exacting requirements. Medicines, vaccines, and other pharmaceutical products are often temperature-sensitive, urgent shipments that have to be handled in a complex regulatory environment. As an industry standard, CEIV Pharma certification covers the specific requirements of senders of pharmaceutical products with regard to safe, efficient air freight services that comply with all relevant regulations. “This recertification confirms our expertise in the life science and healthcare sector in India,” says Timo Stroh, Global Head of Air Freight, who is also responsible for the industry solution DACHSER Life Science and Healthcare Logistics.

Certification attests to the highest international service and quality standards through uniform processes and a compliant network, in turn, customers benefit from secure, compliant, and efficient air freight services. This recertification reaffirms our strong position in the Indian market despite the global effects of the COVID-19 situation. The Indian subcontinent is a key pillar of the industry solution DACHSER Life Science and Healthcare Logistics.

Recertification takes place every three years; the same standards apply as for initial certification. This involves internal and external training, a review of procedures for handling temperature-controlled life science and healthcare shipments, and an extensive assessment of these complex processes by an independent auditor.

Globally standardized and recognized certification

In addition to its Mumbai and Hyderabad locations, DACHSER’s branches in Shanghai, Frankfurt, and Atlanta also have IATA certification. With the Life Science and Healthcare Logistics Quality Management System, which is implemented on a global level, DACHSER can ensure uniform processes in all countries. “Because we have locations on three continents, we can offer our customers in the Life Science and Healthcare sector our services at the world’s key air freight hubs,” Stroh says.

CEIV Pharma provides the pharmaceutical industry with a globally standardized and recognized certification for the handling of pharmaceutical products that meets and exceeds international standards and guidelines. These include the Good Distribution Practices (GDP) as defined by the EU and the World Health Organization, the standards of the United States Pharmacopeia, and the IATA regulations for temperature control. DACHSER has held IATA certification for the transport of life science and healthcare products at Frankfurt since 2018, and in India and the US since 2019.

Brexit – Information for ASL customers

We face the possible event that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union by the end of October 2019.

This will affect shipments from and to the UK and delays are to be expected. Reasons are amongst others that a higher percentage of shipments has to be processed by customs authorities and that European shippers might switch to Air Freight to avoid border controls.

We expect delays particularly for shipments that do not move into the UK directly or out of the UK directly but via continental Europe. For example if Sea Freight shipments are unloaded in Rotterdam and then forwarded to the UK via truck and ferry:

 

  • Fiscal representation in continental Europe will no longer be possible for goods to the UK. Instead, a transit procedure must be opened.
  • The expected problems in Calais/Dover will cause delays in the delivery of goods to the UK.
  • Incoterms for subsequent deliveries from the EU to the UK may also have to be converted if necessary, as costs for customs clearance have to be included

Therefore we strongly suggest to ship directly to the UK whenever possible, at least for some time following the Brexit until things clear up. In addition to that, you can also find a “Brexit checklist” here.

The new DACHSER magazine is here!
Nobody can predict the future—not politicians, not scientists, and not economists. However, that doesn’t mean we can give up the constant task of classifying current developments, tracking trends, and drawing the appropriate conclusions for tomorrow. This requires us to look closely, ask questions—and, most importantly, listen. That might sound obvious, but it can be a real challenge in day-to-day business.
