The Perishable Cargo Regulations manual: the new standard for cargo handling
IATA’s Perishable Cargo Regulations (PCR) manual has become the world standard for the preparation, packaging and handling of time- and temperature-sensitive goods. Applying to all IATA member airlines, the PCR is the new leader in Cold Chain Management for pharmaceutical products and non-hazardous biological material. Not only will the PCR provide you with the most efficient practices for your shipping of perishable cargo throughout the entire supply chain, it will also answer all your questions regarding urgent time- and temperature-sensitive shipping.
Optimise your perishable goods cargo shipping with:
- Scientific data from research institutions, and field experience from major airlines, freight forwarders and key pharmaceutical stakeholders
- nternational and local regulations to ensure your goods are shipped and stored in optimal conditions for on- and off-airport locations.
- Comprehensive classification of perishable commodities, including temperature / humidity requirements, packaging references and incompatibility / segregation information
- Airlines’ contact information, dedicated websites, specific rules regarding perishable cargo
- Pharmaceutical product information based on World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines
- Commodity data on select niche markets
- Maximise your market access, from product manufacturers to growers, handlers, freight forwarders, air carriers and retailers
