The cold chain must be maintained without interruption:
- Chilled products: between 0 and 4°C
- Frozen products: below -18°C
Any break in temperature creates a risk of contamination and can lead to the destruction of the goods concerned.
Vehicles and containers must be:
- Clean, disinfected and suitable for food contact
- Designed to preserve temperature and prevent heat transfer
- Organized to ensure strict separation between food and non-food products
The ATP certificate (Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs) is mandatory for the international transport of food products.
It certifies that the vehicle or refrigerated box complies with construction and temperature-maintenance standards.
The ATP marking specifies the vehicle's insulation class and thermal capacity.
For domestic transport, this compliance is not always mandatory, but it is often requested by professional customers or for certain sensitive sectors.
