Incoterms used to justify not being responsible for shipping stability.

Hi, hope this the right section. I'm in an OEM IVD manufacturer.
I have a long standing argument with finance about whether we're responsible for shipping stability or not. My stance is that our incoterms (ex works) do not mean that we are not responsible for shipping stability studies. Our agreements do not state who is responsible, and they should. But staying ex works isn't enough. Please correct me if I'm wrong in this?

Have a look here, Incoterms latest version is apparently from 2020, and I believe it justifies your viewpoint on shipping responsibility for "Ex-works" terms:
