Ceva liquid nitrogen logistics Code of Practice is now Quality Approved by Bureau Veritas Group
After 11 years of contribution to preserving the frozen vaccine integrity and people safety in the warehouses and hatcheries, Ceva decided to move to the next level of excellence by creating the Linilog Code of Practice and receiving Quality Recognition from an international third-party control body.Since it's launch in 2010, the LINILOG service has been deployed worldwide and is now in place in all our affiliates and partners’ warehouses with the support of around 100 Ceva employees.
The LINILOG service is also available for the hatcheries receiving frozen vaccines from Ceva and it is supported by a team of over 175 hatchery specialists. It has successfully been implemented in several hatcheries globally thanks to close work with hatchery managers.
The frozen vaccines logistics quality standard is based on 4 pillars:
1. CARE OF OPERATOR SAFETY when handling frozen vaccines, thanks to implementing and controlling the application of safety procedures in the warehouse and the hatchery.
2. CONTINUOUS CONTROL OF THE VACCINE INTEGRITY thanks to the implementation and the monitoring of the application of preservation procedures in the warehouse and the hatchery*.
3. VACCINE TRACEABILITY thanks to DEWAR FOLLOW UP from the warehouse to the delivery to a customer location.
4. DELIVERY OF TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION of the teams involved in frozen vaccines logistics.

The quality Recognition will now be monitored by Bureau Veritas Group at the country level, for each candidate country. South Africa is the first country which has passed the quality control audit successfully to demonstrate their compliance with our international standard.
Our objective is now to involve all our subsidiaries in the Quality Recognition process and provide our customers with the highest level of service.
