It is a process of analyzing temperature and relative humidity data required for any space designated for the storage of products that require it (TTSPs).

According to WHO Technical Report Series No. 961, the procedure for thermal mappings includes:

• Temperature distribution assessment
• Relative humidity assessment
• Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT) assessment
• Excursion assessment
• Critical point assessment
• Protocol creation or structure
• Information gathering of the area to be evaluated

Areas of Application

• Pharmaceutical industry: storage chambers, production areas, and transportation of medicines
• Food industry: warehouses, refrigeration chambers, and processing areas
• Hospital centers: storage of medicines, medical equipment, and critical areas
