A temperature logger is an electronic monitoring device placed inside a shipment to record ambient temperature throughout transit, storing each reading with a precise timestamp. It is standard equipment for cold-chain shipments of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and perishable food products. Upon delivery, the logged data is downloaded and reviewed as documentary evidence that GDP (Good Distribution Practice) requirements or customer-specified temperature ranges were maintained. Devices range from single-use disposable loggers to reusable units with USB or Bluetooth interfaces; they differ in measurement accuracy, recording interval, battery life, and alarm capability. Regulatory authorities such as health agencies and customs bodies may require these records as part of import documentation for controlled products.
