Summary

Several qualification references for isothermal packaging have been established in a consensual manner in various countries and by various organizations. Some are established by standardization bodies mandated by states (de jure standards); others are developed by consortiums (de facto standards or guides). These references propose protocols describing methods for the thermal performances qualification of and specifying requirements and acceptance criteria. They have common elements and requirements but differ in many others. Key elements in qualification are not harmonized and present various levels of constraints and safety. This article compares norms and standards the most commonly used for the thermal performance qualification of temperature-controlled containers.
