UKAS Temperature Mapping Services
UKAS Temperature Mapping for Controlled Environments
A single calibration point may indicate that your sensor is accurate, but it doesn’t ensure that all areas within your temperature-controlled environments are monitored appropriately. This is where temperature mapping services come into play, as they provide a comprehensive view of how your environment remains within specified limits.
We offer UKAS accredited temperature mapping services for a variety of controlled environments, conducted in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, and provide clear reporting that is designed to withstand auditing processes.

When do you need a temperature mapping study?
Most mapping studies for temperature-controlled environments are carried out when installing new equipment or setting up a new facility, after relocating equipment or making layout changes, following repairs, maintenance, or significant airflow changes, when product or process requirements change, if monitoring has identified unexplained excursions, and as part of routine re-qualification (typically annually, and often seasonally).
Some environments are mapped in both summer and winter to demonstrate performance across different ambient conditions.
If you're unsure whether your temperature-controlled environment needs mapping or how frequently it should be repeated, our team is happy to advise on temperature mapping services and UKAS calibration for your specific needs.
How a mapping study works
All temperature-controlled environments are unique, so we scope each study individually before we begin. Factors such as the number and placement of sensors, as well as the duration of the study, are determined by the size and layout of the space, airflow patterns, racking or load arrangement, door locations and usage, and the regulatory framework you're adhering to.
Our temperature mapping services typically run from 24 hours to 7 days, depending on your specific requirements. We can map empty, loaded, or both conditions, aligned with your quality system and the needs of your audit.
Once the study is complete, you will receive a clear, documented report containing the mapped data and analysis of any temperature variations identified. All results are traceable and UKAS accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.

Why UKAS accreditation matters for temperature mapping
UKAS accreditation signifies that our approach to temperature mapping services has been independently assessed and approved, ensuring you can trust that the study adheres to verified, internationally recognized standards for temperature-controlled environments. Our accredited reports are precisely what your auditor needs to review, aligning with UKAS requirements.
