SpotSee® WarmMark Long-Run Ascending Temperature Indicator

Description

WarmMark® Long-Run Ascending Temperature Indicators

WarmMark® Long-Run indicators provide clear, irreversible visual evidence that a shipment has experienced cumulative temperature exposure above a defined threshold over an extended monitoring period. They are widely used to support cold chain compliance, quality investigations, acceptance checks, and carrier accountability for temperature-sensitive goods.

How It Works

WarmMark® Long-Run indicators are calibrated to a specific temperature threshold. If exposure above that threshold occurs for long enough to represent a meaningful excursion, the indicator changes permanently, providing a simple visual record that an out-of-spec temperature event has occurred.

The colour change is irreversible and intended for one-time monitoring. These indicators are designed for longer-duration shipments and storage profiles where extended exposure risk is a concern.

• Self-adhesive backing for quick application to cases, crates, or packaging
• Supports QA documentation, compliance checks, and carrier performance review

Use & Handling Clauses

• Placement: Apply the indicator to a clean, dry surface on the outside of the package where it can be inspected on receipt. Avoid placement where it may be rubbed, crushed, or obscured by labels, strapping, or handling.
• Activation & Interpretation: The indicator provides a visual indication that the rated threshold has been exceeded. It does not record the exact time, duration, or maximum temperature reached.
• One-Time / Irreversible: Activation is permanent and intended for one-time monitoring. Indicators cannot be reset or reused.
• Environment: Avoid exposing indicators to conditions outside intended use (e.g., direct sunlight, heaters, chemical vapours, or persistent condensation) that could affect readability or handling.
• Inspection & Records: Inspect and record indicator status at dispatch and on receipt. Photographing the indicator in situ is recommended for quality and compliance records.
• Suitability & Liability: Indicators do not prevent excursions or guarantee product condition. They support decision-making and investigation; users must validate suitability for their application, packaging design, and SOPs.
