CERTIFICATIONS, TRADE BODIES AND COMPLIANCE

WHAT OUR CERTIFICATIONS MEAN

ISO 14001:2015

What is it?

ISO Standards are international standards overseen by the International Organisation for Standardisation. ISO 14001:2015 is an internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for an environmental management system.

What it means to you:

It means that TITAN Containers has been found to be in compliance with the ISO 14001:2015 requirements. More specifically, it means that we have a robust system in place to improve our environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste. It shows our commitment to sustainability and the welfare of the planet.

ISO 9001:2015

What is it?

ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally agreed quality management system designed to ensure superior levels of service.

What it means to you:

Being certified to ISO 9001 standard indicates that TITAN Containers has put in place effective processes and ensured staff training to deliver flawless services every time. ISO 9001 covers everything from leadership to planning, operation and support and gives you peace of mind that you are working with a partner who continuously has quality front of mind.

HACCP

What is it?

HACCP is an internationally recognised food management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis of biological, chemical and physical hazards during raw material production, procurement and handling, and the manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the end product.

What it means to you:

Our ArcticStore cold storage units can operate between -40⁰C and +45⁰C, catering for HACCP minimum temperature requirements of -15⁰C and below. Our units also support remote monitoring capability, allowing HACCP requirements for temperature monitoring and datalogging to be met. ArcticStore internal surfaces are medical-grade stainless steel and aluminium, supporting HACCP requirements for the control of cleanliness and contamination risk.

GDP

What is it?

GDP stands for Good Distribution Practices and is a minimum standard that must be met to ensure the quality and integrity of medicines are maintained throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain. It is overseen by the European Medicines Agency.

What it means to you:

TITAN Containers can supply GDP-compliant cold storage containers tested to GDP’s four-stage requirements of Design Qualification, Installation Qualification, Performance Qualification, and Operational Qualification, also known as DQ, IQ, PQ and OQ. Certification is accompanied by a 32-page report that details test results in these four areas and confirms compliance with GDP for a three-year period. If your business is dealing with overseas pharmaceutical clients, please get in touch to see how we can support your GDP practices.

CE

What is it?

The presence of the CE logo on TITAN containers indicates that they have been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements.

What it means to you:

The CE mark is necessary for all products sold inside Europe. It affords customers a degree of assurance that CE-marked products can safely be used as intended. For our Australian clients, CE conformity can be of interest when dealing with European clients.

CSTA

What is it?

The CSTA stands for Container Self-Storage & Traders Association. It is a professional body that promotes professionalism, innovation and best practice for container self storage operators.

What it means to you:

Unfortunately, some of the self storage depots open to the public are neither safe nor secure. Our membership of the CSTA denotes our commitment to doing things by the book – just as more than 150 other companies in 20+ countries also have – and gives you reassurance that our self storage centres are well-managed and safe.
