EN12830 certification indicates that our device is suitable for cold-chain temperature monitoring. It features an accurate temperature sensor, food-grade casing, and the ability to store historical temperature data.
EN12830 is a European standard specifying the requirements and test methods for temperature recording devices used in cold chain. It ensures these devices meet specific accuracy, resolution, and response time criteria to maintain product safety and quality. By adhering to the EN12830 standard, companies can ensure that their temperature recording devices are reliable and accurate, thereby maintaining the integrity of the cold chain and safeguarding the quality and safety of temperature-sensitive products.

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.

Recalibration is not mandatory under EN12830. The standard states that the frequency of verification is governed by EN13486, which specifies:
Recalibration is not mandatory under EN12830. The standard states that the frequency of verification is governed by EN13486, which specifies: The frequency of checks depends on the user’s needs and the manufacturer’s guidelines. If the temperature measuring instrument is installed on a vehicle that undergoes annual or periodic maintenance, it is recommended (but not required) to check the instrument during those inspections. Some countries may have additional regulations that go beyond EN12830. In such cases, we expect clients to submit their devices for periodic verification, which our devices are designed to pass without needing recalibration.
==== Our recalibration guidelines: ====
The temperature sensor has a long-term drift of less than 0.01°C per year, meaning it should maintain its 0.5°C accuracy class throughout its expected service life. In other words, recalibration is not expected to be needed after purchase.
