Guide for Temperature Mapping Study of Warehouse, Cold room, Van, Reefers as per WHO & GDP standards

Описание: VackerGlobal provides Temperature Mapping Study, Temperature & Humidity Qualification & Validation for warehouses, stability chambers, cold storage rooms, active and passive boxes, vans, reefer trucks, stability chambers etc.

What is temperature mapping?
Temperature mapping study is the analysis of temperature or humidity controlled areas typically for storage of medicines and pharma items. These are warehouses, cold storages, vans reefer trucks etc. We carry out the temperature monitoring of the area under real conditions and by simulating real-time conditions. The study is to prove that during real operations, the temperature remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.

What is mapping study as per GDP requirements?
Good Distribution Practices (GDP) is a set of recommendations and guidelines for temperature-sensitive goods. This is especially important for Medicines and Vaccines since they are of critical nature. The GDP standards specify the requirements for storage and transportation of such goods. Mapping study is one such set of guidelines to check the quality of assets used for storage and transportation of such medicines.

What is the Procdure for Temperature & Humidity mapping study, Qualification study and validation study?
There are different sets of tests based on the type of asset, temperature range, humidity range etc. However, the general principle is almost the same. We install our devices for recording temperature and humidity inside the asset. The number of devices will be much higher than normal operations. Then we operate the asset under different conditions identical to the normal operating conditions. We analyze the entire data to check whether the asset is capable of maintaining the desired temperature and humidity.

How to carry out a temperature mapping study of a warehouse? We will briefly explain the method and procedure for carrying out temperature mapping study of a warehouse. This is a summary from our free guide on temperature mapping study. The purpose of a mapping study is to measure the temperature and humidity across the entire warehouse. This means that we have to record readings of various points simultaneously and record the same continuously. The duration for testing a warehouse is a minimum of seven days and a maximum of 14 days. In order to record the data, we place the data loggers across the entire warehouse at equal distances based on our calculations. In an existing warehouse, there might be limitations to carry out all the tests. In such a case, you may carry out the tests with the present loads available. For a new warehouse we suggest the following sequence of tests:
1. The first test is an empty test of a warehouse - This is for analyzing the readings without any load inside the warehouse. We may take the readings for a couple of days without any loads. This is possible only in a new warehouse.
2. Thereafter a loaded test is conducted - This is for analyzing the readings under loaded conditions. In most cases, this is the only test possible in a warehouse. We suggest that the warehouse be loaded to your normal usage pattern. If your warehouse is normally loaded to approximately 60%, then we will carry out the test under 60% loaded condition. However, we do not recommend carrying out the test below 50% loaded condition;
3. If you further want to ensure performance, we can also carry out a full load test. The warehouse should have 90 to 100 per cent load and we will carry out the tests. You can also use dummy loads with similar thermal properties to load the warehouse to 100% capacity.
Upon completion of the data recording, we will download the entire data from the data logger. We will upload the entire data into our software for a mapping study which will generate the results. Temperature and humidity are analyzed separately. For medicine storage, we recommend a humidity level below 65 per cent RH. You can carry out the tests either with standard data loggers or with wireless real-time data loggers. If we use the wireless real-time data loggers, we can monitor the data remotely. If there are any deviations, we can recommend the corrective actions and the test can be repeated with minimum cost and time implications.
