SCHOTT issued its one millionth certificate for its FIOLAX glass tubing recently. These certificates help to identify the products shipped as tubing that are subsequently processed into pharmaceutical packaging, vials or syringes, for example. These documents contain detailed information on the dimensional quality and the quality of the glass which enables pharma companies to track their packaging all the way back to the raw material ‘glass tubing’, if necessary.
Reportedly, SCHOTT is the first company in the industry to allow for all of the pharma tubing it manufactures to be identified back in 1999. The certificates are applied to the pallet in a clearly visible position and enable customers to inspect incoming shipments more easily because they contain plenty of detailed information. One part of the certificate can be detached and stored for documentation purposes and used to perform subsequent tracking & tracing inside the e-commerce portal.
SCHOTT’s certificates, besides a description of the product including all of the characteristics of importance to the customer, also contain detailed specifications on tolerances. “In other words, we offer our customers the highest possible transparency and reliable quality,” concludes Jürgen Achatz, Global Sales Director for Pharmaceutical Tubing at SCHOTT.
SCHOTT manufactures FIOLAX in Germany, Spain, Brazil and India. Each year, SCHOTT reportedly manufactures around one million km of pharma tubing.
