SCOPE NOTE
One logger in the airflow is not the load
A published strawberry study used nine points on each of six United States shipments. Those files were not downloaded here, and they are not a UK journey pass.
Commercial practice often puts one logger in a consignment. Abdella and colleagues wrote that they used nine points on each of six strawberry loads, started at harvest, and sampled every 5 or 10 minutes. That method is theirs. This site has no UK journey file.
The preprint describes DeltaTrak RTL Mini loggers, stated ±1 °C, donated by the manufacturer, on United States routes funded by USDA and the Florida Department of Agriculture. The landing page did not host a downloadable CSV on 23 September 2026. Those curves are not rewritten here as a British ATP or food-transport result.
EN 12830 and EN 13486, as explained by Cambridge Refrigeration Technology, are type tests and periodic verification. They are not a finding that a particular trailer stayed inside a limit.
What would a journey file have to include?
An original journey note would name the airflow, wall and product or simulant points, match the start event to the first CSV row, and state the interval, the timezone string and whether the file has gaps. It would link the applicable official rule and say that this site does not decide the load. This site has no UK journey file. The strawberry curves cited above are not rewritten here as a British result.
- Placement: airflow, wall, and a product or simulant point, named.
- Start event matched to the first CSV row.
- Interval, timezone string, and whether the file has gaps.
- A link to the applicable official rule, with the sentence that this site does not decide the load.
