The transport of life science and health care products is extremely demanding; medications and other pharmaceutical products are frequently temperature-sensitive, urgent shipments, which need to be handled in compliance with a complex regulatory environment. As an industry standard, the CEIV Pharma certification covers the specific requirements of shippers of pharmaceutical products with regard to secure, correct, and efficient air-freight services

The IATA certification is a key pillar of our global air-freight strategy.

“The IATA certification is a key pillar of our global air-freight strategy,” says Jochen Müller, COO Air & Sea Logistics at DACHSER. “It attests to the highest service and quality standards for life science and healthcare customers through uniform processes and a compliant network.”

The complex certification process began in 2017: CEIV Pharma certification required internal and external training, review of procedures for handling temperature-controlled Life Science & Healthcare shipments, and an extensive assessment of these complex processes by two separate independent validators.

“Our aim is to meet the highest international standards in global transportation of sensitive products,” says Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at DACHSER. “This has benefits for our customers. We look forward to playing an important role in the shipment of life-saving medicines, and we will continue to expand our network capabilities as Business Field Solution Life Science & Healthcare over the coming year.”

“IATA is very pleased to recognize the growing interest in aviation leaders such as DACHSER to ensure the best standards are applied in the transportation of sensitive pharmaceutical products,” said Glyn Hughes, IATA’s Global Head of Cargo. “Air freight excellence is most evident when best practice harmonized processes are followed, especially when it comes to transporting potentially life-saving cargo such as pharmaceuticals.”

CEIV Pharma offers the pharmaceutical industry a globally consistent and recognized pharmaceutical product handling certification that meets and exceeds international global standards and guidelines. These include European Union and World Health Organization Good Distribution Practices (GDP), United States Pharmacopeia standards, and IATA temperature control regulations

Latest update on DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations

With this update DACHSER would like to inform about the current DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations across the regions APAC, EMEA and Americas. In the attached document (see download below) it is listed whether a country organization of DACHSER is operational or, if only limited or not at all, why this is the case. Since the situation in the countries may change rapidly, the attached document will be updated on a regular basis and published on our website.

We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused to our customers due to the pandemic. At DACHSER, we have contingency measures in place and will offer our customers the best alternative solutions to keep the supply chain running. Anyhow, the situation at ports, airports or customs authorities might cause delays. Furthermore, the capacity situation on the global airfreight market is very tense as there are basically no passenger flights operating at the moment.

At the same time, DACHSER has installed strict hygiene measures (e.g. home office) to ensure a safe working environment and to do our part in stopping the spread of the virus. DACHSER is trying to keep the impact of these measures as low as possible, however, together with the official measures by the governments, the precautions may lead to some delays in the operations.

In case of any questions and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
