Investments to create awareness internally and
externally
• Cross- Divisional – Team
– Keepcool Team
• Training
• Standard Operating Procedure
• Process optimization
• Aircraft thermal performance analysis
• DuPont Tyvek – air-cargo cover
• Investing in industry boards
– Temperarture Task force in IATA
– Coolchain association
• QEP process within our Network
– WAS THIS ENOUGH?

 60% of the total time a package travels by air is spent at the airport
 54% of temperature deviations of healthcare freight occurs while in possession of the
airlines on the ground

New EU GDP Guideline in general: Why?
• Many players involved in today’s distribution (virtual,
outsourcing, brokers)
• Lack of harmonization: EU level

Changes: e.g. “Transportation”
• The required
storage
conditions for
medicinal
products should
be maintained
during
transportation

Environmental Control System
•
3 Air-conditioning packs provide conditioned air
•
Airflow is not only used for temperature control,
but also for pressurization
 Engine bleed air (with a high pressure) must be used!
 Problem: Bleed air temperature: 180ºC >>4-29ºC!
 Air-conditioning Packs required to cool down bleed
air

Outlining specific temperature
requirements: “Premises and Equipment”
(Chapter 3)
•
Storage areas should be
temperature mapped
- seasonal variations
- initial mapping prior to use
- repeat based on risk assessment
•
Location temperature
monitors
–
•
based on mapping
Alarm systems should be in
place
–
testing periodically
