16、his European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 141 “Pressure gauges - Thermometers - Means of measuring and/or recording temperature in the cold chain“, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either b
17、y publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2000. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to imp

20、ure control criteria“. Page 3 EN 12830: 1999 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the technical and functional characteristics of air temperature recorders for equipping the means used for the transport, storage and distribution of chilled, frozen and deep-frozen/quick-frozen food and ice cream.
21、 It specifies the test methods which allow the determination of the equipments conformity to suitability and performance requirements. It applies to the whole recorder-temperature sensor(s). The temperature sensor(s) may be integrated into the recorder or remote from it external sensor(s). It does n
22、ot define the location of the recorder and its sensors with respect to types of usage such as transport, storage and distribution. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
