TERMOGRAF HACCP solutions for the food industry — EN 12830 monitoring for perishable goods transport
HACCP & EN 12830 Compliance for the Food Industry
European legislation (Regulation EC 852/2004) and the EN 12830 standard mandate temperature monitoring and documentation during perishable food transport and storage. Failure to comply with HACCP requirements leads to product recalls, fines, and reputational damage.
TERMOGRAF TG5 is EN 12830 certified and provides instant temperature proof at the delivery point — receiving staff at supermarkets, warehouses, or restaurants verify compliance on the spot by printing the thermal report.
Challenges in the Food Cold Chain
HACCP Documentation
HACCP mandates continuous temperature documentation at every critical control point. Missing or incomplete records lead to non-compliance during inspections.
Refrigeration Failures
Refrigeration unit failures in trucks can go undetected during transit, compromising the entire load.
Receiving Verification
Supermarket receiving dock staff need instant temperature proof — not loggers that require software to download.
Multiple Temperature Zones
Different products require different temperatures — frozen (-18°C), chilled (+2°C to +8°C), and ambient all need separate monitoring.
How TERMOGRAF Ensures HACCP Compliance
Instant Verification
TERMOGRAF prints temperature history on arrival — receiving staff verify compliance in seconds, without a computer.
Wide Temperature Range
From -40°C to +70°C — covers frozen, chilled, and ambient products in a single device.
Dual-Probe Monitoring
The TG5-2T model monitors two temperature zones simultaneously — ideal for multi-compartment vehicles.
Excursion Alarms
LED and display indicate temperature limit exceedance — the driver is immediately alerted to refrigeration failures.
Relevant Regulations
| Regulation | Description | Requirement Met |
|---|---|---|
| EU Reg 852/2004 (HACCP) | Hygiene of foodstuffs — baseline requirements for all food business operators | Documented monitoring |
| EU Reg 37/2005 | Monitoring of temperatures in transport of frozen food | Range -40°C to +70°C |
| EN 12830 | Temperature recorders for transport and storage of food | Certified compliant |
| Codex Alimentarius | International food safety standards and fair practices | Full compliance |
Recommended Models for the Food Industry
For single-temperature-zone vehicles, the TG5-1T model is the cost-effective choice. For trucks with separate compartments (frozen + chilled), the TG5-2T model with two temperature probes provides simultaneous monitoring.
