Glossary Cold Chain

Cold Chain refers to the process of safely transporting and storing temperature-sensitive products (such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics) while maintaining a specific temperature range. It involves accurately controlling and monitoring temperatures throughout the distribution process to maintain product quality and safety. This requires appropriate storage facilities and transportation vehicles, temperature control equipment, and monitoring systems. The cold chain helps prevent product damage, contamination, and efficacy reduction, ensuring that consumers receive safe and reliable products.
