Temperature calibration is vital in refrigerated transport because it directly impacts the quality, safety, and compliance of perishable goods during transit.

Implications of Inaccurate Temperature Control:

• Product Quality Degradation: Fluctuations or inaccuracies in temperature can lead to spoilage, affecting the quality and shelf life of perishable items.

• Regulatory Non-Compliance: Failure to maintain accurate temperature records can result in non-compliance with health and safety regulations, leading to potential fines or loss of certification.

• Increased Operational Costs: Inaccurate temperature control can lead to product losses, affecting profitability and increasing operational costs due to the need for replacements and potential legal liabilities.

Therefore, investing in regular temperature calibration is crucial for maintaining the integrity of perishable goods, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing operational efficiency in the refrigerated transport sector.
