A passive cold storage container, notably a vaccine transport container, comprises: * - a product storage compartment (11); * - one or more ice-pack compartment(s) (14-17) arranged adjacent to the product storage compartment, the ice-pack compartment(s) being spaced from the product storage compartment by a thermal barrier (26-30); and * - a thermally insulated envelope (18) surrounding the product storage compartment and the ice-pack compartment(s). The thermal barrier comprises a phase change material having a solid/liquid transition temperature which is ≥ 1.0 °C and ≤ 10°C. The configuration provides user-independent freeze-free protection. L'invention un récipient de stockage de froid passif, et plus particulièrement un récipient de transport de vaccin, qui comprend : * - un compartiment de stockage de produit (11) ; * - un ou plusieurs compartiments de bloc-glace (14-17) disposés de manière adjacente au compartiment de stockage de produit, le compartiment de bloc-glace étant espacé du compartiment de stockage de produit par une barrière thermique (26-30) ; et * - une enveloppe thermiquement isolée (18) entourant le compartiment de stockage de produit et le compartiment de bloc-glace. La barrière thermique comprend un matériau à changement de phase ayant une température de transition solide/liquide qui est ≥ 1,0 °C et ≤ 10 °C. La configuration fournit une protection antigel indépendante de l'utilisateur.
