Shipping Qualification: What Is It And Why Is It Necessary?

Shipping qualification is a process which demonstrates that a product will be both physically and thermally protected throughout the entire shipping process. It requires documented testing for each segment of a shipment including, transfer of the product from controlled temperature storage, shipping container packout, transport of the product and delivery of the shipment.

A successful shipping qualification process identifies and addresses potential risks to pharmaceutical product during transportation. It results in a reduction of product loss and supply delays with more predictable deliveries, saving companies time and money.
