SOP For Temperature Mapping

This standard operating procedure outlines the process for temperature mapping using calibrated probes and a data logger to ensure walk-in coolers, incubators, refrigerators, and freezers maintain the proper temperature range. Key steps include identifying probe locations, conducting the temperature mapping for 24 hours or 3 days, recording readings, analyzing results, taking corrective actions if needed, approving a report of findings, and ongoing daily monitoring of hot spots. The acceptance criteria require individual probe temperatures to remain within 25±2°C.
