Eutectic plate service life depends on material, model, use and damage history. A maker statement is not an unlimited-life guarantee for every brand, model and condition.
Track each plate by product code or site ID. During shift checks, inspect for cracks, leaks, swelling, deformation, deep scratches and readable labels.
Make removal decisions using defect criteria in the product instructions. Isolate suspect plates; do not pierce the body or empty its contents.
Record the number and reason for plates removed from service. Investigate whether damage relates to drops, stacking or incompatible rails.
Confirm repair, recycling or disposal from safety and use documentation for the exact model, plus applicable local rules.
Link records to purchasing and service files. These data support stock decisions; they do not create a fixed cycle count or remaining-life promise.
