Good Distribution Practices (GDP): The Backbone of the Supply Chain

The Good Distribution and Storage Practices Guide, published by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TİTCK), regulates the procedures and principles for purchasing, selling, exporting, storing, distributing and shipping human medicinal products across the entire supply chain.

The guide is based on compliance with national legislation and internationally accepted standards, particularly the EU GDP Guide. For pharmaceutical warehouses, temperature-controlled storage, cold-chain integrity, qualification and validation, documentation and traceability are among the core requirements.

GDP compliance ensures product quality and safety are preserved from manufacturer to end user. At CSC, we provide supply services aligned with this framework through our 2–8°C cold chain and GDP-compliant processes.
