In so doing, Hactl becomes the first handler in Hong Kong to obtain this certification.
Hactl’s certification is the result of an initiative sponsored by Hong Kong Airport Authority, in which all relevant industry players at the airport will undergo validation for the IATA CEIV Pharma standard.
IATA CEIV Pharma represents a co-ordinated effort to ensure competency, as well as operational and technical readiness, for the storage and transportation of pharmaceuticals by air. It is designed to help the industry further develop a network of certified pharmaceutical trade lanes that meet consistent cold chain management standards and assure product integrity.
Hactl’s accreditation comes in the wake of an extensive independent assessment and validation, involving detailed inspections and personal interviews with managers and supervisors at all levels within the company. The assessment and validation covered the company’s quality management system and procedures, personnel, training, documentation, infrastructure and equipment, quarantine procedures, sub-contractor management, self-inspection procedures, transportation and operations.
