Calibration Copy
Calibration involves using a traceable thermometer, calibrated to UKAS standards, to ensure the accuracy of temperature-controlled equipment, such as fridges and freezers. , This is followed by regular recalibrations and detailed documentation to maintain compliance and performance.
Benefits of Temperature Mapping and Calibration
- Compliance with Regulations: Ensures adherence to regulatory requirements and industry standards, such as those set by the MHRA or ISO.
- Safety and Quality Assurance: Identifies hot and cold spots, ensuring that temperature-sensitive products are stored safely and consistently
- Risk Reduction: Minimizes the risk of temperature excursions that could compromise the integrity of stored materials
- Optimised Equipment Performance: Provides confidence in the performance of temperature-controlled equipment, supporting maintenance and validation decisions3.
- Improved Monitoring: Helps in determining the best locations for temperature sensors, ensuring accurate and reliable monitoring
