What is

ATP inspection?

ATP inspection, the name by which the inspection by a control body of vehicles transporting perishable goods is usually known, responds to the need to preserve people's health, as this type of transport can put it at risk if it does not comply with all the safety measures established by national and international legislation.

Royal Decree 237/2000, of 18 February, establishes the technical specifications to be met by special vehicles for the land transport of foodstuffs at regulated temperatures and the procedures for checking compliance with the specifications, assigning to the authorised control bodies a large part of the functions relating to the controls and certifications of this type of vehicle.

Verification of Thermometers and Thermographs

The control of health risks is based, to a large extent, on the respect of temperatures, hot or cold, which limit the proliferation of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms. It is therefore essential to be able to rely on reliable measuring instruments and to check their reliability regularly.

This regulatory verification of recording instruments must be subject to metrological control to ensure that they retain their metrological characteristics.
