Project purpose
The primary goal of this project is to develop a new harmonised security standard that ensures the safety, integrity, and compliance of temperature-sensitive valuable pharmaceutical products throughout the supply chain. This standard will integrate and harmonise requirements across four critical security pillars: Aviation Security, Customs Security, Asset Protection Security, and Data Security.
Project objective(s)
The project focuses on creating a robust, holistic security framework tailored specifically for the pharmaceutical industry, addressing the unique challenges posed by temperature-sensitive valuable products. This framework will provide a comprehensive set of guidelines and protocols to mitigate risks and ensure the secure handling, storage, and transportation of these sensitive items.
