Overview
Refrigerated transport of chilled and frozen meat is the whole subject of this single guideline, 28 chapters with four annexes. It states the cold chain principle, explains why chilled meat is the harder duty, and fixes health requirements, transport temperatures and carcass presentation for each load type.
The remainder is vehicle engineering and operation: how a transport system is classified and sized, how precisely it holds temperature, how the body is insulated, surfaced and drained, and how loads are pre-cooled, distributed, cleaned, monitored, released and their deviations handled.
What it covers
- Transport temperatures and carcass presentation for chilled and frozen meat
- Classification of transport systems, refrigeration units, capacity, installed power and sizing
- Precision of temperature control, air circulation, thermal insulation and internal surfaces
- Rail and hanging systems, drainage, insulated containers, loading and stacking
- Pre-cooling, multi-drop distribution, cleaning and disinfection, and temperature monitoring
Who it's for
Meat distributors and hauliers, fleet engineers, dispatch managers and the inspectors who certify refrigerated vehicles. It is reached for when a fleet is specified or re-certified, or when a consignment arrives out of temperature; the annexes hold a vehicle inspection and release checklist and a consignment temperature record.
