  • Test unit operation at multiple temperature set-points (e.g., -18°C) to validate performance.
  • Monitor temperature accuracy and cooling cycle consistency.

Documentation & Media Collection

  • Ensure documentation is complete, clear, and properly labeled for records.

Reporting

  • Generate comprehensive inspection reports, summarizing findings, PTI results, and corrective actions required.

  • Monitor hygiene and regulatory compliance, especially for food-grade and pharmaceutical shipments.

Record Keeping

  • Track corrective actions and resolutions.

Travel Requirements
