Scope
This European Standard specifies the technical and functional characteristics of temperature recorders for the transport, storage and distribution of temperature sensitive goods between 80 °C and +85 °C.
It specifies the test methods which allow the determination of the equipment's conformity, suitability and performance requirements.
It applies to the whole temperature recording system. The temperature sensor(s) may be integrated into the recorder or be remote from it [external sensor(s)].
It gives some requirements with regards to the location of sensors of the recorder with respect to types of usage such as transport, storage and distribution.
NOTE Examples for the transport, storage and distribution of temperature sensitive goods between 80°C and +85°C are chilled, frozen and deep frozen, quick frozen food, ice cream, fresh and hot food, pharmaceuticals, blood, organs, chemicals, biologicals, electronic and mechanical devices, flowers, plants, bulbs, raw materials and liquids, animals, art and furnishing.
Purpose
Aligning with EN 13485 and EN 13486, ambiguous parts where identified after the publication, clarifications of the standard text in these parts will allow better understanding of the content
