Container uses in the pharmaceutical industry
The pharmaceutical industry imposes some of the strictest constraints in the industry: temperature control, batch-by-batch traceability and compliance with Good Distribution Practice. Our containers make it possible to meet these requirements on site, without depending on fixed infrastructure.
Industry constraints
How containers meet the requirements of pharmaceutical logistics
-
Temperature and humidity control
Our Reefer containers feature industrial refrigeration units with certified data loggers. They keep the temperature within ±0.5°C across the entire -25°C to +25°C range. Built-in humidity sensors ensure optimal preservation of your sensitive products.
-
Modularity for capacity extensions
Your pharmaceutical activity experiences peaks during vaccination campaigns or product launches. You can deploy additional containers within days, with no construction, no permits and no administrative delays.
-
Traceability and regulatory compliance
We provide complete technical documentation for your GDP audits: equipment data sheets, probe calibration certificates and service reports. Your ANSM inspectors receive every element in PDF or CSV format.
The container types most used in the pharmaceutical sector
Whether it's maintaining a cold chain between +2°C and +8°C, fitting out an aseptic preparation area or containing DASRI waste, each format meets precise regulatory specifications. These solutions can be deployed quickly on any production, distribution or research site.
-
Reefer container
This container is equipped with a built-in industrial refrigeration unit. It maintains a precise, stable temperature from -25°C to +25°C. Certified data loggers continuously track temperature and humidity. It is essential for storing vaccines, biologics and any temperature-sensitive product.
-
Fitted-out cleanroom container
This module is fully converted to meet the ISO 14644 standard. It includes HEPA filtration, smooth seamless wall panels, an airlock with changing room and sealed electrical outlets. It allows you to quickly create an aseptic preparation area outside of a permanent building.
-
Container with built-in spill containment tray
This container is designed for storing hazardous liquids and chemical waste. Its floor forms a sealed steel tray that retains 100% of the stored volume in the event of a leak. It meets ADR requirements and the Environmental Code for storing classified substances.
Standards
Pharmaceutical standards and regulations to comply with
-
Good Distribution Practice (GDP)
GDP governs the distribution of medicines in Europe. It requires strict cold chain control, full temperature traceability and qualified storage equipment. Our Reefer containers with certified data loggers directly meet these requirements.
-
ISO 14644 (cleanrooms)
This international standard defines the particulate cleanliness levels for cleanrooms and clean zones. Our fitted-out containers can be designed to achieve ISO 7 or ISO 8 class, with the required filtration equipment and validation protocols.
-
ADR regulations
The European ADR agreement governs the road transport of dangerous goods, including pharmaceutical and chemical waste. Our containers with a built-in spill containment tray are designed to store these substances in compliance with the Environmental Code and ADR requirements.
FAQ
FAQ: your questions about containers and the pharmaceutical industry
Find answers to the most common questions about our containers and services.
Can a Reefer container maintain +2°C to +8°C in all seasons?
Yes. Our containers' cooling units are sized to operate between -30°C and +50°C of outside temperature. They hold the set point to within ±0,5°C regardless of the season. Certified loggers generate continuous reports for your qualification file.
How do you demonstrate compliance during an ANSM audit?
We provide a complete technical file with each container: equipment qualification sheet, temperature probe calibration certificates, preventive maintenance plan and service reports. All temperature records can be exported as PDF or CSV for your quality system.
Can a pharma container be installed without a building permit?
For an installation of less than 3 months, no planning permission is required. Beyond that, a prior declaration of works is generally sufficient depending on the surface area. We support you through the administrative process and can provide the necessary technical documents.
How is DASRI waste managed in a container?
The container dedicated to DASRI waste must be clearly labeled, kept locked, and fitted with a spill containment tray. Waste is placed in UN-approved packaging. The container is regularly emptied by an approved contractor, who issues a hazardous waste tracking form (BSD).
