Cold Chain Standards
I stand with Ukraine
I think you should leave your pre-chill temp as is and verify by checking the refer and NOT the truck temperature. If you state a minimum of -5C, that's where they will ALWAYS set the refer----that leaves you zero buffer should say, the refer run out of fuel because the truck got stuck in traffic etc
You can add some language to your procedure that explains the ambient temp at your dock and why the trailer temp is higher
Are you able to get data logger info from the trucks to back up your trailer temps while en route to destinations?
IIRC the Container Supply Company are required to have a co-signed document stating that -18degC was attainable before loading (as also shown on temp.chart) for Insurance purposes (proves system working OK before leaving).
Definitely relevant in a tropical environment. :smile:

Yes, this requirement included in our Cold Chain standard.
After loading each vehicle has to reach a temperature minimum -18C before moving.
Hi, major reason for pre cooling cargo space is to evaporate humidity. When loaded you will reach set point much faster.//MA
