Purpose

To define the principles and rules for designing a temperature (and humidity) mapping study: how many sensors, where to place them, how long to map, at what interval, under what loading and seasonal conditions, and which worst-case challenges to include, so that mapping studies are scientifically justified, consistent and defensible at regulatory inspection.

Before you use it

  • Replace every square-bracket token, starting with [LABORATORY NAME], [ADDRESS] and [EFFECTIVE DATE]. The full token list is in GD-01 Read Me First.
  • Have the content technically reviewed against how your laboratory actually works, then approved by the responsible manager before it becomes a controlled document.
  • Update the Word fields after editing so the table of contents and page numbers are correct: select all, then press F9.
  • Record the document in your own document register and set its review date.
