If your facility stores temperature-sensitive products like pharmaceuticals, food, vaccines, or lab materials then temperature mapping is essential for regulatory compliance.
At Westcal Calibration Services, we specialize in temperature mapping across the Middle East, helping companies in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, and Jordan meet international quality standards.
What Is Temperature Mapping?
Temperature mapping is the process of placing calibrated data loggers inside a controlled environment to monitor how temperature varies over time and across different zones.
Mapping is mandatory for:
- Cold rooms and walk-in freezers
- Refrigerators, freezers, and incubators
- Pharmaceutical warehouses
- Vaccine & food storage areas
It ensures all areas (not just near the control probe) stay within the approved temperature limits protecting product integrity and ensuring GMP or WHO compliance.
Serving the Middle East Region
We deliver temperature mapping services in:
- United Arab Emirates (UAE): Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah
- Saudi Arabia: Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam
- Oman: Muscat, Sohar, Salalah
- Qatar: Doha and industrial zones
- Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, and more
Our engineers understand regional compliance as well as international standards including:
- WHO Technical Report Series 961
- ISPE Good Practice Guide
- EMA Annex 15
- ISO 17025 & GDP guidelines
Steps Involved in Temperature Mapping
Step 1: Define the Scope & Objective
Are you performing:
- A new installation qualification (IQ)?
- Periodic requalification?
- Post-repair temperature validation?
Each project requires unique planning. We’ll help define your:
- Setpoints & tolerances
- Storage load conditions
- Applicable regulatory framework (GMP, MOH, GDP, etc.)
Step 2: Develop a URS (User Requirement Specification)
This outlines what your unit must achieve. We define:
- Target temperature range and deviations
- Alarm configurations
- Storage volume
- Sensor accuracy and validation goals
A strong URS ensures smooth inspections and predictable results.
Step 3: Inspect the Unit
Before installing sensors, our team conducts a detailed site inspection:
- Are doors sealing properly?
- Are fans running consistently?
- Is insulation intact?
- Any airflow blockages?
We catch problems early to ensure the data reflects actual storage conditions.
Step 4: Sensor Placement
We use NIST-traceable or ISO 17025-calibrated sensors and follow best practices from WHO and ISPE.
Sensor placement includes:
- Corners, center, and door areas
- Top, middle, and bottom levels
- High-traffic areas or near vents
Sensor quantity is based on unit size and risk assessment.
Step 5: Data Logging & Analysis
The test typically runs for 24 to 72 hours depending on your unit size and product risk.
We analyze:
- Min/Max/Average temperatures
- Spikes or deviations
- Hot/cold zones
- Real-world environmental behavior
We deliver:
- Graphs, raw data, and summary reports
- Sensor calibration certificates
- Root cause analysis (if deviations found)
Step 6: Qualification – IQ, OQ, PQ
We help complete the full validation lifecycle:
- IQ (Installation Qualification)
- OQ (Operational Qualification)
- PQ (Performance Qualification)
We simulate real-world challenges (like power failure, door openings) and verify unit performance under loaded conditions.
