DGP Group - Validation

DGP are able to test your primary or secondary containers and receptacles with the hydraulic pressure test/internal pressure test (IATA approved test method), or vacuum pressure test (ADR approved test method) to ensure it withstands the 95kPa internal pressure required to transport diagnostic and infectious specimens.

Temperature Validation

Due to the temperature changes experienced during transportation, specimen integrity is often compromised. DGP offer a comprehensive temperature performance validating service to ensure your sample arrives at its destination in an acceptable testing condition.

During the validation process, the temperature and time-lines of customer specific shipments are replicated and the packaging is performance tested.

All the associated equipment utilised by DGP during this validating process is UKAS calibrated and accredited.
