What has to be considered regarding GDP compliant storage and transportation of APIs

Background
In March 2015, the “Guidelines on principles of Good Distribution Practice of active substances for medicinal products for human use” were published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Since September 2015, the provisions of these Guidelines have been obligatory. The driving force behind these Guidelines is the combat against falsified drug substances and drug products. It is intended to control the entire supply chain and thus to mitigate the risk associated with complex distribution pathways. From now on, distributors are required e.g. to have a complete deviation management in place and to maintain a change management system as well as a CAPA system based on risk assessments. Moreover, a GMP-compliant complaint and recall management has to be established and a well trained staff has to ensure that all the requirements of the guidelines are met. In several sections of the Guidelines, it is pointed out that a thorough training of the employees is important.
Target Group
This education course is designed for all persons from companies involved in the distribution and supply of pharmaceutical products. The course will be of interest to managers and executives from the pharmaceutical industry, API manufacturers as well as distributors and traders.
