The temperature records your auditor will ask for

GDP principles and UAE storage-and-distribution guidance converge on one idea: transport conditions must be provided, checked, monitored and recorded — with records available for review. If the shipment cannot show what it experienced, quality teams must assume the worst.

What should a transport temperature record contain?

• The required range for the product, stated before movement;
• the recorded curve — readings with timestamps, from pack-out to delivery;
• alarm thresholds and whether any excursion occurred, with duration;
• sensor identity and placement (with the payload, not the vehicle cab);
• shipment identifiers linking the record to the delivery documents.

Who assesses an excursion — the courier or the quality team?

The quality holder of the product does. The logistics provider’s job is to make that assessment possible: a clean record, the exposure duration, and the shipment context. This is why “the driver says it was fine” has no value in an audit — and a recorded curve does.

What do auditors actually ask for?

In supplier qualification we see the same requests repeatedly: the transport control plan (what was defined before movement), example temperature records, excursion-handling practice, and evidence that packaging performance claims trace to test data. Our quality & compliance page describes what we provide at each step.

How BIOCARD produces the evidence

Sensors travel with the payload; per the agreed scope you receive the temperature record, excursion identification and a delivery report for your file. The control plan — range, packaging, conditioning, exposure points, contingency — is written before the shipment moves, so the record has something to be checked against. See monitoring & reports.
