Meling Ice-Lined Refrigerator Achieves WHO PQS Certification

As a leading innovator in medical refrigeration solutions, Meling Biomedical recently announced that its YC-125EW Ice-Lined Refrigerator has become the first product in the world to receive WHO PQS (Performance, Quality and Safety) certification under the updated international standards. This landmark achievement underscores Meling’s commitment to quality, innovation, and global health security.

The World Health Organization (WHO) as an authority in global public health, sets certification standards that thoroughly evaluate product performance, safety, and environmental sustainability. Passing this certification not only signifies that a product has reached the highest internationally recognized quality standards, but also represents a crucial passport for entering the global market and supporting immunization programs in various countries.

The YC-125EW’s compliance with updated WHO standards strengthens global cold chains, ensuring reliable distribution of temperature-sensitive medicines—even in remote areas. This supports immunization and public health efforts worldwide, improving equitable access to safe refrigeration and advancing long-term health security.As a leading innovator in medical refrigeration solutions, Meling Biomedical recently announced that its YC-125EW Ice-Lined Refrigerator has become the first product in the world to receive WHO PQS (Performance, Quality and Safety) certification under the updated international standards.

What is an Ice-Lined Refrigerator (ILR)?

An Ice Lined Refrigerator (ILR) is a type of refrigeration unit designed to maintain a consistent low temperature (typically between 2°C to 8°C) using ice as a cooling medium. It is surrounded by a thick lining of ice packs or tubes containing frozen water or phase change material (PCM), which helps maintain the internal temperature. It is commonly used for storing vaccines, medicines, and other temperature-sensitive medical supplies, especially in areas with unreliable electricity supply.

Why ILRS Are Essential in the Vaccine Cold Chain?

Vaccines are sensitive biological substances that lose potency when exposed to heat or freezing temperatures. If a vaccine is not stored correctly, it can become ineffective and even harmful.

The ILR ensures that vaccines remain within the safe temperature range, even during power outages, thus maintaining their efficacy. This is vital for immunisation programs, such as:

Polio eradication campaigns
COVID-19 vaccination drives
Routine immunisations (MMR, DTP, Hepatitis B, etc.)

In many countries, immunisation programs depend on ILRS to store and transport vaccines safely from central storage to rural clinics.
