As winter settles in and temperatures drop, it’s the perfect time to plan your winter temperature mapping exercises for areas where pharmaceutical products are stored. As per MHRA guidance, seasonal temperature mapping is critical for ensuring compliance and maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive products.
Let’s look at what temperature mapping involves, why it’s important, and how to execute it effectively this winter.
In essence, temperature mapping is the process of qualifying a storage environment to thoroughly understand the temperature variations experienced across the area. This is typically done by deploying temperature data loggers in a grid like pattern throughout the facility.
To meet regulatory standards and address environmental variations, mapping must be performed during both seasonal extremes:
Requalification Intervals
The frequency of temperature mapping depends on a risk-based approach, but here are some general guidelines:
