→‎How do I know if a recorder complies with the EN12830 standard?

Line 40: Line 40:

Moreover, in France, the Ministry of Agriculture regularly publishes the list of compliant temperature recorders, which can be consulted here. However, this list does not give any information on the version of the standard used for the declaration of conformity: 1999 or 2018.

EN13486: verification of the recorder accuracy

−

Compliance with the EN12830 standard is unfortunately not sufficient. You must also comply with the EN13486 standard! Attention, the current revision of the EN13486 standard dates from 2002 and a CEN technical committee has launched the revision of this standard NF EN 13486.

−

It is well known that sensors have the unfortunate tendency to drift over time, i.e. the measurement they give can become progressively less accurate after a few years. This is true for all sensors and also for temperature sensors. This is why periodic inspections have been imposed and you must comply with them.

−

The periodic verification of the recorders is the responsibility of its user, i.e. the carrier and the logistician. Nevertheless, there are some rules to know to organize a certification campaign to EN13486 :

−

This periodic verification must be done by a COFRAC (Le Comité Français d’Accréditation) accredited body for France. The laboratory you have chosen must be able to give you its “accreditation certificate” issued by COFRAC with these validity dates.

−

You must define the reference temperature(s) for which you want to obtain the periodic verification. Be careful, the cost of certification is often proportional to the number of temperature values to be verified.

−

~~You need to define the accuracy class for which you want the periodic verification. This class is related to your industry.~~

==What temperature values must you observe?==
