This Cold Chain Management: Temperature-Controlled Storage and Distribution session in Paris runs from Monday 13 September to Friday 17 September 2027 (week 37, Q3 2027). It is the 2nd of 2 dates in Paris in 2027, at a fee of 23,500 SAR, the same for each of them. Registration is open for this date. It is held in person at Right Bank business hotel.
Temperature-sensitive medicines, vaccines, biologics and chilled or frozen foods lose value, and sometimes safety, the moment a cold room, vehicle or shipper drifts outside its range. Most excursions trace back not to equipment failure but to unqualified storage, unvalidated packaging, weak handover points and monitoring data that nobody reviews. This Core Concept course equips cold chain practitioners to qualify, monitor and control temperature-controlled storage and distribution against recognised international guidance. Participants examine facilities, vehicles and shipping systems against structured criteria and leave with a Cold Chain Integrity Plan for one product flow in their own operation.
Course Objectives
Classify temperature-sensitive products by storage range and stability profile, and map every control point from receipt to final delivery
Apply WHO good storage and distribution practices and ICH Q9(R1) quality risk management to storage, transport and outsourced activities
Plan and interpret temperature mapping and qualification studies for cold rooms, freezers, vehicles and reefer containers
Specify packaging, monitoring devices and data review routines for each shipping lane
Investigate temperature excursions, evaluate product impact using mean kinetic temperature and raise corrective and preventive actions
Produce a Cold Chain Integrity Plan ready for review by quality and operations management
Target Audience
Warehouse and distribution supervisors operating temperature-controlled storage
Quality assurance specialists responsible for good distribution practice and deviation handling
Transport and fleet coordinators running refrigerated vehicles and reefer containers
Hospital pharmacy and vaccine store officers managing cold rooms and freezers
Food safety and logistics officers handling chilled and frozen products
Validation and facilities technicians maintaining refrigeration and monitoring systems

Why Attend This Course
Leave with a Cold Chain Integrity Plan for a real product flow, already tested in a peer audit
Decide on firm evidence whether product exposed to an excursion is released, quarantined or destroyed, and record the rationale
Spot weak handover points and packaging choices before they turn into product losses
Compare practice with peers from pharmaceutical, healthcare and food distribution
Conclusion
A cold chain is only as reliable as its weakest room, vehicle or handover. This course moves from classifying products and mapping the chain, through the international guidance that governs storage and transport, to qualification, monitoring, excursion investigation and carrier oversight. The final day applies these methods in inspection walkthroughs of storage and transport assets and turns them into a Cold Chain Integrity Plan, giving participants a documented basis for protecting product quality on every lane they manage.
Cold Chain Management: Temperature-Controlled Storage and Distribution runs in Paris over 5 days, with 2 upcoming dates in Paris. The course fee is 23,500 SAR.
