How can we help you?

• Measure your isothermal container K-coefficient and obtain an ATP certificate recognised in 50+ European countries
• Classify your container per the ATP Agreement (IN, IR, FNA, FRC) with PCA AB 308 accredited documentation
• Test GDP pharmaceutical containers and obtain qualification for drug transport in the cold chain
• Certify new containers for 6 years or renew existing certificates within 2–3 business days
• Use the COCH mobile laboratory - we test containers directly at the manufacturer or logistics operator

Container Types Tested

• Isothermal containers (IN) without mechanical refrigeration
• Reinforced isothermal containers (IR) with K ≤ 0.40 W/(m²·K)
• Refrigerated containers with mechanical appliance (FRC) - classes FNA, FNA/F, FRC
• GDP pharmaceutical containers for temperature-sensitive drug transport
• Cryogenic containers (liquid nitrogen LN2, CO2)

Measured Parameters

• K-coefficient [W/(m²·K)] - stationary method per ATP
• ATP classification: IN, IN-F, IR, IR-F, FNA, FRC, FRC/F
• Temperature holding time with dry ice (RF class)
• GDP/DPD qualification for pharmaceutical transport

Testing Procedure

1. 1Container installation in COCH measurement chamber
2. 2Stabilisation of internal heating conditions
3. 3K measurement and ATP classification
4. 4Certificate issuance - valid 6 years (new) or 3 years (renewal)

Why COCH?

COCH is the only laboratory in Poland with PCA AB 308 accreditation for isothermal container testing per ATP and ISO 1496-2. Our certificates are recognised by certification bodies throughout the EU.
