Storage temperature and humidity journal
Temperature and humidity in storage and production areas. Food cannot be kept safe in a storeroom at 30 °C and 85% humidity. The log records whether the indoor conditions meet storage requirements.
What this log is for
A warehouse temperature and humidity log is a mandatory SanPiN item for rooms where food is stored: it confirms microclimate monitoring. In WeSetup, sensors take readings every 5–10 minutes, and deviations automatically go to CAPA.
How it looks in the system
What a completed log looks like
The same file the service provides to an inspector. The data is fictional: the organization “Ромашка” and five employees.
What gets recorded
- Room (production area, warehouse, hall)
- Morning and evening readings
- Deviation from the limit and action taken
- Data from an IoT sensor (if connected)
Regulatory basis
- Customs Union Technical Regulation 021/2011 “On Food Safety”
- SanPiN 2.3/2.4.4282-26
- Connecting an IoT sensor (Tuya) completes the journal automatically — readings are imported every 15 minutes.
- A 2 °C deviation without action may lead to a penalty from Rospotrebnadzor.
Questions and answers
What should I record in Storage temperature and humidity journal?
Required fields: Room; Morning and evening readings; Deviation from the limit and action taken; Data from an IoT sensor. An empty field is equivalent to an incomplete log for an inspector, so use a dash deliberately and include an explanation.
How often should I complete Storage temperature and humidity journal?
Every shift: make the entry on the day of the event. Do not backdate entries: uniform dates and identical values are precisely how inspectors identify record keeping done only as a formality.
Which document requires Storage temperature and humidity journal?
Customs Union Technical Regulation 021/2011 “On Food Safety”; SanPiN 2.3/2.4.4282-26. Include the regulatory reference on the title page so the inspector can immediately see why the log is kept.
Can I keep Storage temperature and humidity journal electronically?
Yes. SanPiN 2.3/2.4.4282-26 does not require paper: the important points are being able to see who made an entry and when, and preventing unnoticed retrospective changes. For an inspection, print the electronic log for the required period.
How long should I keep Storage temperature and humidity journal?
Inspectors usually request records for the last 12 months, so one year is a practical minimum. Keep logs connected with a food poisoning investigation or a complaint until the proceedings are closed.
