In storage — A freezer that fails on Friday evening is normally found on Monday morning. Here the alert goes out at the moment the temperature leaves its range, to a phone, not to a logbook. ➤
In transit — Frozen goods must be recorded at frequent and regular intervals and the records kept for a year. That is Regulation (EC) No 37/2005. Most warehouses answer it with a logbook filled in twice a shift. ➤
What the law asks — The driver's phone is the gateway. No wiring, no fitting, no vehicle downtime — and a trailer that changes hands still carries its own record with it. ➤
What the claim asks — When a load is rejected, the record decides who pays for it. A sheet written by hand explains what happened. It does not prove it. ➤
A logger is read when the load arrives. By then the decision about that load has already been made by the temperature, not by you.
A cable, a laptop, five minutes per device, every trip. Here the data collects itself and is on the platform before the truck is unloaded.
A trailer has warm corners and a chamber has a door end. One instrument in one place describes one place.
A recorder without EN 12830 and without periodic verification records honestly and proves nothing. The standard is what turns a file into evidence.
