Regulatory consistency and transportation quality are critical, ongoing concerns for healthcare clients. To mitigate your risk and increase quality, UPS Healthcare qualifies third-party providers through the UPS Healthcare Carrier Certification Programme.

To qualify a provider, we:

• Vet, certify and audit third-party providers to handle healthcare shipments - including temperature-sensitive and high-value
• Audit and verify providers' stated service capabilities
• Ensure compliance with global regulatory standards, such as EUGDP, Canadian Guide 0069 and APAC PICS
• Require signed quality agreements and master service agreements to be in place with all carriers
• Classify providers into one of four certification tiers to ensure carrier selection matches the complexity of your supply chain requirements
