As a result, Hactl becomes one of the very first companies to have achieved all three CEIV standards.
IATA CEIV Live Animals is a voluntary programme designed to improve competency, infrastructure and equipment, quality management and training for the handling and transportation of live animals by air. Achieving and maintaining certification involves training, assessment and validation; re-validation audits are conducted every three years.
In preparation for auditing, Hactl’s quality assurance auditors and trainers attended IATA’s three-day Live Animals Cargo Logistics Management course. Hactl also modified its audit checklists and training materials to comply with the new, higher standards. Its Standard Operating Procedures were reviewed and revised after detailed internal discussion with its operations teams and other supporting departments. Finally, numerous training and briefing sessions were held to ensure all relevant staff were aware of every change.
