-Heat-insulated means of motor transport for transporting perishable foods;
– Isothermal containers for road, rail and sea transport of cargo, which allow transshipment between the above-mentioned different modes of transport;
– Insulated means of transport for temperature-sensitive goods – containers.
We perform temperature distribution testing, GDP mapping, DPD mapping, as well as issue ATP, FRC, FNA, GDP certificates, and perform periodic inspections of isothermal bodies to renew ATP (FRC, FNA, GDP, DPD) certificates.
Are the tests performed covered by accreditation?
ATP testing is covered by the accreditation of the Polish Accreditation Center No. AB 308, and a license to use the ILAC MRA international mark of mutual recognition of test reports issued by accredited laboratories around the world.
