Cold-chain transit checker for 2 to 8 °C shipments
Passive cold-chain shippers are validated for a fixed number of hours. Compare that duration with the worst-case door-to-door time on a lane from India, including handover and customs holds, and see whether the margin is safe.
Shipper and lane
From the packaging qualification report, for example 96 or 120 hours at 2 to 8 °C.
Shipping mode
Extra time on top of the worst case for delays and weekends.
Not enough. The shipper runs out before the worst-case arrival
Validated duration 96 hours against a worst case of 210 hours. Choose a longer-duration shipper or an active container, or shorten the lane.

How this tool works
- Passive shippers are qualified to hold 2 to 8 °C for a fixed number of hours under a stated temperature profile. That validated duration is the hard limit.
- The worst case adds packing and handover in India, the worst-case transit on the lane, any extra customs or regulatory hold, and the last mile.
- A safety margin on top covers missed connections and weekend arrivals. The result passes only when the validated duration covers the worst case plus the margin.
- For long or uncertain lanes, an active container on air cargo or a longer-duration shipper is safer. Keep the data logger with every shipment.
