We have extensive experience in the development of validation protocols for refrigerated transport systems (i.e. air, road and sea) and land-based (e.g. coldstores, freezers and chillers) equipment. Our methods are supported by well-known statistical methodologies (e.g. 6-sigma) and have been tested in food and pharmaceutical applications. Our protocols can be integrated to your company’s Quality Assurance programme with ease.
Key parameters of performance included in our protocols are:

• Historic distribution of temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in cold stores, containers and trucks.
• Thermographic imaging for heat leakage detection
• Effect of loading/unloading operations on product temperature
• Assessment of product quality and safety as a function of temperature
