FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What must a GDP warehouse provide?
Premises, zones, temperature, security, hygiene, flows, equipment, documentation and people must fit the actual product and authorisation scope, be qualified and remain monitored.
How should a pharmaceutical 3PL be selected?
A URS and tender make requirements comparable. Authorisations, QMS, capacity, temperature ranges, IT, subcontractors, BCP, cost and actual performance are assessed through evidence and audit.
When is temperature mapping required?
Before using a relevant storage area and again based on seasonal risk, major change or significant temperature events.
Who retains GDP responsibility for outsourced logistics?
Outsourcing does not automatically transfer regulatory responsibility. The contracting organisation must qualify the provider, define responsibilities and monitor performance and change.
What is pharmaceutical pre-wholesale?
Pre-wholesale typically combines outsourced GDP storage, inventory, pick and pack, dispatch, commercial distribution, order data and often order-to-cash for a manufacturer or importer. The exact regulatory and contractual scope must be defined and qualified.
