For a closed-store delivery, agree in advance where the goods will remain overnight and who has custody. A signature alone is not proof of secure storage or temperature.
Before dispatch, confirm written permission to leave goods, a designated locked area, key or seal owner, emergency contact and morning checker. Verify from contract or procedure when custody transfers.
At handoff, record product and lot, container ID, quantity, drop location, time, seal number and delivering person. Place the logger according to product instructions; identify its recording interval and device.
On arrival, the morning checker records seal and container condition, opening time, logger trace and any measurement required by the product procedure. Link any photos or signature to the same delivery record.
For unauthorised access, seal mismatch, missing logger data or a deviation, segregate the product and await quality review. If no approved secure location is available, do not leave goods exposed; reschedule delivery.
