GDP compliance for pharmaceutical shipments
Cold Chain & Dangerous Goods
3 min read Updated August 2026
Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is the regulatory standard governing the storage and transport of pharmaceutical products, ensuring quality is maintained from manufacturer to end point. ZargoLogix's cold chain network is GDP and CEIV Pharma certified.
What GDP compliance covers
- Validated temperature-controlled transport across the entire journey, with no unmonitored gaps at handovers
- Continuous, auditable temperature data for the full shipment
- Trained personnel and qualified facilities at every touchpoint the shipment passes through
- Documented chain of custody
What this means for you
When you book a pharmaceutical shipment with ZargoLogix, you can request the full temperature and handling record after delivery for your own quality/compliance records. If your organisation has specific GDP documentation requirements beyond our standard package, let your specialist know at the quote stage so they can be built into the shipment plan from the start rather than requested after the fact.
See Shipping temperature-controlled (cold chain) cargo for how the underlying temperature-controlled network operates.
