How should product starting conditions be recorded at first mile?

Record product and box starting readings with separate times and methods; route pre-dispatch differences through the approved acceptance process.

Short answer

Before loading, measure by an approved method; record lot, point, device and time. Record box start separately. Refer early differences to the authorized process.

An insulated container maintains preparation conditions; a transport record cannot correct an out-of-target product start.

Define the measurement

Measure before loading with an approved method. Record lot, point, device and time.

Timeline

Lot release

If a difference appears in the first route section, compare product and box starting records; leave product decisions to the authorized process.
