The control and monitoring of temperatures throughout the cold chain are very important issues with regard to the quality of goods. In order to ensure that food products and products from the pharmaceutical industry are kept at adequate temperatures and that these temperatures are recorded for continuous control purposes, a number of standards must be met.
     −
European regulations require, among other things, the use of recorders that comply with the regulations, which must be regularly checked. These two aspects related to the traceability of the cold chain are the subject of standards called respectively EN12830 for the recorders and EN13486 for their verification.

Effective control and monitoring of temperatures within the cold chain are crucial for maintaining the quality of goods. To guarantee optimal temperature conditions for food and pharmaceutical products and to ensure continuous monitoring, adherence to a set of standards must be met. European regulations require, among other things, the use of recorders that comply with the of standard called EN12830.

In a context of globalization, the storage, transport and distribution of heat-sensitive products are subject to different regulations depending on the country. This article will only deal with the subject of regulations on the European territory. There are many professions that have to comply with the regulations on cold chain traceability and you must make sure of the standards applicable to your branch of activity.

The manufacturer of your recorder must be able to issue a certificate of conformity in its own name. Furthermore, this equipment must have undergone conformity tests carried out by a COFRAC-accredited standardization laboratory. The manufacturer must be able to provide you with the test report from this COFRAC-accredited laboratory. Attention, it is your responsibility to check that the report refers to the standard in force: in this case the 2018 version of EN12830.
