Temperature Mapping

Temperature Mapping of Warehouses and Cool Rooms

The TGA and other regulators require companies to ensure that the temperature of their fridges, freezers and warehouses are at the appropriate temperature to store product.  Audits are conducted on a regular basis by the TGA to ensure compliance.  The best way to ensure your warehouse is compliant is to conduct temperature mapping of your cold storage facilities.
 

 

What is Temperature Mapping?

Temperature Mapping initially comprises four activities:

  • Protocol preperation
  • Execution of Protocol
  • Analysis of Data
  • Report Results
CoolPac can provide any or all of these activities, as well as ongoing routine temperature mapping after the initial execution.
CoolPac has many years of experience in both temperature mapping and other related validation and qualification activities. We can quickly and cost effectively prepare protocols, analyse data and develop reports.
CoolPac’s temperature monitoring equipment includes wireless capability, making large warehouse and cold room installations much simpler and cost effective to assess. Temperature Mapping performance can be checked in real time, providing significant advantage over the standard multiple battery operated data logger approach. 
 
Temperatures should be measured within the space from top to bottom, side to side and front to back as well as areas that are likely to have temperature variations such as near doors, fans, vents  and corners.

Benefits Of Temperature Mapping

  1. Ensures Product Efficasy
  2. Cold chain Compliance

Temperature Mapping vs. Calibration

  • Number of loggers
  • Map of logger locations, including hot and cold spots
  • Duration of mapping
  • What constitutes “normal use” and therefore minimum stock levels acceptable
  • Calibration
  • Acceptable temperature excursions .
  • Define how the data is to be generated
  • Reporting requirements
