GLS Belgium achieves GDP certification

GLS Belgium and GLS Luxembourg are now certified for the non-temperature-controlled transport of medicinal products for human use. The ISO certificates for quality and environmental management systems have been renewed.

The Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification is binding for the transport of medicinal products within the EU. GLS has adapted its operational and support processes and trained its employees, transport partners and their delivery drivers to meet the guideline’s requirements. All sites in Belgium and Luxembourg comply with the necessary high standards of quality, safety and hygiene. The right to deliver pharmaceutical products opens up new service options for clients and their recipients.

DQS, one of the largest international providers of management system certification, has also confirmed the parcel service provider’s ISO 14001:2015 and 9001:2015 seals regarding its quality and environmental management systems.
