Measurement and traceability

The time left after the unit stops is measured by the WHO Supplement 11 failure test: set point, roughly 12 hours of stabilisation and the single time that goes into the report.

A medicinal distribution inspection form asks for the duration; do not apply it to your product and route without supporting evidence.

Fuel, motor vehicle tax, inspection and depreciation are fed by four different official files and go stale on four calendars. Write the file and the date of the version you used next to each row.

Evidence the load-equipment match, maintenance history and trip records separately.

For a frozen pallet refused at the ramp, protecting the goods and having their state properly established is the refusing buyer's job; without that, the burden of proof stays with the buyer. Communiqué 2015/34 describes how to measure.

Article 18(2) limits annual verification to recorders fitted to ATP-certified equipment and meeting ATP criteria; match device and equipment identities.

The +3 °C for mince appears in the ATP roadside inspection guide table, while the text of the ATP agreement itself and the animal hygiene regulation both say 2 °C. Shipments work to 2 °C.

Carrier authority, equipment certificate, vehicle hygiene, product temperature and temperature records come from five different texts. Where each answer lives, with the key figures, in one table.

Communiqué 2014/48 asks for documents showing that recorders meet three TS EN standards, sets a minimum one-year retention period for records and grants a separate exception for distribution and display cabinets.

The word control covers three jobs at once: holding the condition, measuring it and recording it. Running a cooler is only one of the three.

The rule is one sentence: the product stays within its own condition without interruption, and a record proves it. The condition changes by product: -18 °C, 2 °C, +2 to +8 °C.

Define a promise through product starting conditions, route duration and measurement records; avoid universal guarantees beyond the tested scope.

Plan stop order, carton access and a loading sketch together; track wrong-carton searches on the next run using the same measure.

Match container identity, interior condition, required equipment and route in one work order; tie dispatch sign-off to completed checks.

Record void location and carton movement at receipt; retry the same load with a defined divider and check that the lid closes freely.

Document external damage before unpacking; compare identity, model, fittings and accessories with the order and track open items separately.
