PDA Technical Report 39 (TR 39) offers a foundational, risk-based framework for maintaining the quality of temperature-sensitive medicinal products during transportation. It outlines Good Cold Chain Management Practices (GCCMP) to guide shipping qualification, environmental monitoring, and temperature excursion management, ensuring regulatory compliance and patient safety.

TR 39 addresses the nuance of product-specific validation. A filter might pass the BCT with water, but fail with a complex protein solution due to interactions between the product and the filter matrix, or the effect of the product on the organism's size.

When a temperature excursion occurs, follow a pre-approved process:
