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.
+
EN12830 is a European standard specifying the requirements and test methods for temperature recording devices used in the storage, transport, and distribution of chilled, frozen, deep-frozen, and quick-frozen food and other types of products. It ensures these devices meet specific accuracy, resolution, and response time criteria to maintain product safety and quality.
  
−
European regulations require, among other things, the use of recorders that comply with the regulations, which must be regularly checked (Learn more about sensor calibration). 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.
+
==EYE SENSOR EN12830==
  
−
In this article, we propose a focus on these 2 standards, their scope of application and the legal obligations resulting from them.
+
EYE Sensor EN12830 is a Bluetooth® Low Energy recorder that enhances business operations through certified temperature monitoring. This sensor holds an EN12830 certificate and delivers precise measurements with a 0.5°C accuracy class across all working ranges from -20°C to +60°C. Each temperature sensor is calibrated in an ISO 17025-certified laboratory to ensure reliability.

==Scope of this regulation: where? For whom? Why is it necessary?==
 
  
−
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.
+
==Benefits of EN12830 Compliance==
  
−
The text of the EN12830 standard gives an example of the fields of activity identified: “Examples of goods that are sensitive to transport, storage and distribution temperatures between -80 °C and +85 °C are refrigerated, frozen and deep-frozen goods, ice cream, fresh and hot food, pharmaceuticals, blood, organs, chemicals, biological materials, electronic and mechanical devices, flowers, plants, bulbs, raw materials and liquids, animals, works of art and furniture. »

'''Resolution (°C) -''' Maximum resolution of change in temperature that the device can display.
  
−
==Proprietary solution or open system?==
+
'''Class (°C) -''' Specifies the maximum accuracy deviation of the temperature recording devices.
  
−
There are many ways to deal with these security and integrity issues, but there are two main approaches:
+
'''Response time -''' The response time of a temperature sensor is the time it takes for the sensor to reach 90% of a step change in temperature. Typically, the maximum response time for air temperature sensors should be no more than 15 minutes. This ensures that the sensor can quickly detect changes in the air temperature, which is crucial for maintaining the correct storage or transport conditions.
  
−
    The first is to ensure the security and integrity of the data through a proprietary system. In short, from the sensor to the data visualization application level. In this case, compliance with the standard is easier to achieve because it is handled at the application level, which has significant computing resources. Nevertheless, this approach requires the exclusive use of the entire manufacturer’s solution: from the temperature sensor to the final application through all the manufacturer’s own communication layers.
+
'''Sensor temperature range -''' Indicates operational temperature
−
    The second is to ensure data security and integrity through an open system. The temperature sensor itself is designed to meet the security and integrity requirements imposed by the standard. In this case compliance with the standard is more difficult to achieve, as it requires that this be handled at the sensor level, which has limited computing resources. However, this way of doing things allows manufacturers to remain open to any independent system, while ensuring compliance with the EN12830 standard.
 
  
−
==How do I know if a recorder complies with the EN12830 standard?==
+
'''Calibration temperatures''' - The EYE SENSOR with EN12830 certification uses a sensor that has been factory calibrated in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. The temperatures listed in the table indicate the specific conditions at which the sensor was tested and calibrated.
  
−
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.
+
==Common temperatures to observe==
  
−
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.
+
The definition of the temperature values that you must respect depends on your sector of activity. To help you, if you are in the case of transport of perishable foodstuffs, the storage temperatures to be respected for various types of products:

−
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.
