Reefer Van Network is now certified to the World Health Organization's Good Distribution Practices standard for the transportation of medicinal products — ambient and temperature-controlled. The compliance bar your QA team requires, cleared and audit-ready.
Good Distribution Practices is the World Health Organization's standard for the storage and distribution of medicinal products. It governs everything from temperature control and equipment validation to driver training, documentation, and chain-of-custody. Pharma quality teams use it as the bar carriers must clear before they're approved on a shipper scorecard. RVN is now independently audited and certified against that bar by SGS, one of the world's leading certification bodies.
"Provision of transportation services under ambient conditions and with temperature control as requested by the customer."
GDP isn't a sticker. It's a documented, audited management system: written SOPs for every step of the move, validated equipment, trained drivers, controlled documentation, deviation tracking, and a corrective action process that's reviewed annually. When QA asks how your carrier protects a temperature-sensitive product from origin to delivery — there's a paper trail.
Pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, clinical trial materials, medical devices, diagnostics, and cell & gene therapy logistics — supported by validated equipment, trained drivers, and the documentation your auditors expect.
Refrigerated equipment with documented temperature performance. Continuous monitoring across the move, with alerts and deviation logging.
Origin-to-delivery accountability with named, trained drivers. Every transfer logged. Every signature captured. Audit-ready records for every load.
Written procedures for loading, in-transit handling, deviation response, and proof of delivery — reviewed annually and audited by SGS.
GPS-tracked shipments and live temperature telemetry through the RVN customer portal — with the documentation exportable for QA review.
Drivers trained on GDP fundamentals — temperature handling, contamination avoidance, documentation, and how to escalate deviations in transit.
Certified scope covers both ambient and temperature-controlled transportation. Specify the product's profile — we handle the conditions.
Whether you ship direct, route through a forwarder, or broker on behalf of a pharma customer — RVN is now the GDP-certified carrier in your network.
Ship pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, and clinical materials with a U.S. domestic reefer partner that meets the standard your QA, regulatory, and audit teams expect.
