IATA's CEIV Fresh certification aims at improving perishable goods transport

Certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) aims to improve the handling and transport of perishable products to ensure food safety, as well as reduce food waste and loss along the supply chain. This Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) certification program is known as CEIV Fresh.

Insufficient refrigeration causes significant food wastage. About 12 percent of total food production is lost due to insufficient refrigeration, according to IATA. Officials emphasize that every supply chain stakeholder has a responsibility to safeguard the world's food supply.

"Given the sensitive nature of perishables, maintaining product integrity requires exceptional standards,” said Nick Careen, IATA's senior vice president for operations, safety and security, when All Nippon Airways (ANA) became the first Japanese airline to receive CEIV Fresh certification.

CEIV Fresh certification is based on the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) food safety control list, the IATA Perishable Cargo Regulations (PCR), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) international standard for food safety management systems 22000:2018, among other standards related to fresh food.

HACTL and Cathay Pacific Services Limited (CPSL) were the first cargo handling agents in the world to achieve IATA CEIV Fresh accreditation. This was part of an Airport Authority Hong Kong initiative to make Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) the world’s first CEIV Fresh hub in 2019.

As of now, CEIV Fresh has certified 43 entities including 12 airlines and six ramp handlers.
