Since IATA is not in the label business, they do not provide any handling or dangerous goods labels. They have to be purchased directly from label manufacturers.

Attached below you will find a jpeg version and the new specifications (November, 2009) for IATA's Time and Temperature Sensitive Healthcare Product Label.

I recently participated in an IQPC podcast on Temperature Controlled Distribution, Regulations and the Future of Biopharmaceutical Cold Chain, which included some 2009 milestones and what the industry might expect in 2010.

Topics discussed included:

• The benefits of Cold Chain conferences like those organized by IQPC
• Takeaways from the first IQPC Clinical Trials Logistics conference
• The most significant changes to temperature sensitive drug distribution in 2009
• What can the industry expect in 2010 in the way of new regulations and guidance for the distribution of time- and temperature-sensitive products
• Areas of growth in the pharmaceutical industry over the next few years
