AJEX renews EU certification for medical shipments

AJEX has received EU Good Distribution Practice (GDP) recertification. The certification confirms that its systems meet European standards for handling pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive shipments under EU GDP 2013/C 343/01 requirements. It covers quality management, risk control, and cold chain handling.

AJEX manages healthcare and life sciences cargo that needs strict temperature control during storage and transport. The recertification confirms that processes such as monitoring shipment conditions, handling procedures, and storage controls continue to meet required safety standards.

This matters because pharmaceutical products can lose effectiveness if they are exposed to incorrect temperatures or poor handling. The certification helps ensure these risks are reduced and that shipments maintain their required condition throughout the journey.

It also supports smoother cross-border movement of medical goods, as compliance with EU GDP standards is widely accepted in international healthcare trade. This can reduce delays linked to inspections and documentation checks.

The update comes amid demand for temperature-controlled pharmaceutical movement continue to grow, with more medicines and life sciences products requiring strict handling conditions.
