Measurement and traceability17 / 39

Record the container number, visible issue and shipment context together. Pairing the image with the record number makes it findable later.

An hourly cluster guides investigation; compare time basis, exposure and run position to test possible explanations.

Holders of C3, K1, K3, L1, L2, N1 and N2 certificates enter goods data into U-ETDS on every carriage, before it begins. For C1 and K2 the duty arises only when dangerous goods are carried.

Reconcile trip coverage and missing records first, then review regimes and deviations; never count missing measurement as a normal value.

The note identifies goods and delivery details; record temperature requirements and readings separately because it does not prove cargo temperature.

A receipt record helps establish custody through transit; one air reading does not determine product condition or fault.

Record each device, measurement point and time with its reading; confirm the decision method in the contract and site procedure.

For quick-frozen food, ambient temperature is recorded throughout the trip and the product itself is measured with a probe. A logger report alone does not show that the product was at -18 °C.

The record carries the goods, the quantity and the temperature. Without the container number, the answers to questions about an excursion, an empty or a repeat problem are not in the record.

Align arrival, measurement, ID check and first opening with the shipment procedure and contract.

Assign owners, event timestamps and product readings on the first run; use the evidence to revise the next.

Record load positions before unloading changes them, and plan sampling under the method applicable to the product.

For quick-frozen food the instrument has to meet five requirements: response time, accuracy, drift, resolution and calibration. Together they decide which readings can count as compliance.

A supervisor who signs every form reads none of them. Narrowed to four records, the signature becomes a check again: excursion, quarantine and release, regime change, shift handover.

A gun pointed at a carton on the dock is not the measurement the rules describe. The Codex communiqué spells out the instrument, the drilling, the depth and the moment of reading.

Link lot, dispatch note, container and logger in one traceable chain.
