Corridor 1.0
Relevance
Packaging qualification is a critical element of pharmaceutical quality and patient safety, ensuring medicinal products remain protected throughout storage, handling, and distribution. As supply chains become more global and complex, life sciences organisations face growing pressure to accelerate time-to-market, control costs, and improve efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance. Yet current qualification practices often involve significant duplication of effort, with pharmaceutical companies repeating activities already performed by qualified packaging suppliers, while valuable supplier-generated performance and transport data remains underutilised due to concerns around standardisation, traceability, and regulatory acceptance.
GOAL
Project Objectives
The major goal of this project is to provide the best assurance in handling quality to pharmaceutical shippers by connecting airports with CEIV Pharma certified airlines and cargo handling communities.
