Importance of Cold Chain Monitoring and Validation
WHO guidelines recommend that all medicines be stored under the prescribed storage conditions. This requirement extends beyond storage — it applies throughout the entire cold chain up to the point of delivery to the customer. Maintaining the right temperature and/or humidity in storage and transit areas is essential. Facilities must be validated by monitoring these parameters at multiple points before being approved for use. Once validated, sensors are installed across the storage area to continuously monitor the environment. It is crucial that all recorded data be stored securely and made available for review to ensure compliance and product safety.
