Tests centers
Equipment of transport of perishable foodstuffs under controlled temperature are subject to the certificate of technical conformity issued by delegation of the Ministry of agriculture by the Cemafroid. This certificate, issued originally during the commissioning of the equipment, shall be renewed after a period of 6 years, then after a second period of 3 years.
Refrigerated vehicle must pass a test of descent or temperature maintenance which aims to ensure that the equipment is able to produce cold and / or maintain temperatures necessary for food storage during transport. This test should be performed in a test center recognized by the French Minstry of Agriculture based on a technical reference document (see below).
Beyond 12 years, the vehicle must pass the test in an ATP official test station for a renewal of six years and it can be performed by batch. The certificate can be renewed every 6 years. (www.cemafroid.fr)
