Nippon Express secures quality certification for facility near Narita Airport

KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 -- Nippon Express Co Ltd has obtained IATA CEIV Pharma pharmaceutical transport quality certification for both its Narita Temperature- Controlled Hub (NTCH) and transport operations between NTCH and Narita Airport.

Effective recently, this is the second pharmaceutical-related quality certification awarded to NTCH, the first being the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification received in March last year, according to a statement.

Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) is a quality certification programme, formulated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

The programme aimed to set high standards for the air transport of pharmaceuticals that encompass differing GDP established for pharmaceuticals by countries.

In October 2019, Nippon Express began seeking certification as a member of the community hosted by Narita International Airport Corporation (NIAC), and, with NIAC's assistance, has now obtained certification as a forwarder in this community.

NTCH is an important node connecting Japan with the rest of the world, and this certification incorporating GDP standards from countries will enable it to provide more secure and better-quality pharmaceutical transport services from end to end.
