Temperature data logger<\/h3>\n

A temperature data logger consists of at least a temperature sensor, an electronic memory, a microcontroller and a battery to operate the unit. It can have an external temperature sensor or an internal sensor. This is the case of the Thermo Bouton<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a temperature data logger which concentrates all these elements in its stainless steel shell.<\/p>\n

A temperature recorder thus makes it possible to measure the temperature at regular intervals and to store these temperatures in its memory. A complete history is thus obtained, allowing the temperature to be monitored over a precise period. In particular, a temperature recorder is used to monitor compliance with the cold chain in the pharmaceutical industry<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, biology laboratories and the food industry.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, cold chain regulations oblige these sectors to monitor the temperature during transport, storage and conservation of products. There are also temperature and humidity data loggers that allow both parameters to be measured at the same time.<\/p>\n

Cold chain<\/h3>\n

The cold chain includes all the operations necessary to keep products (often food or pharmaceutical) at a low temperature to ensure the preservation of their qualities.<\/strong><\/span> Depending on the product, there will be different standards : +2 to +8\u00b0C for vaccines or many pharmaceutical or food products, or even with much lower tolerances such as fish.<\/p>\n

The use of the word chain<\/em> highlights the importance of the continuity of the steps. All the actors in the chain must ensure that this chain is maintained. The respect of the cold chain requires the use of control means such as temperature data loggers.<\/p>\n

HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point)<\/h3>\n

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points: according to the definition of NF V 01-002, HACCP is a system that identifies, evaluates and controls significant food safety hazards.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

HACCP is not a standard, but a working tool. It is based on 7 principles. The implementation of HACCP is done through a succession of 12 steps, including the analysis of hazards and the identification of critical control points to control them.<\/p>\n

The 3 families of critical points are as follows :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
