7.29.3 GDP Supply and Return Sensor Calibration
European Commission GDP (Good Distribution Practices) guidelines, which are used worldwide, call for the
equipment used to control or monitor environments where medicinal products are stored or transported be
calibrated in accordance with pharmaceutical shipper specifications, typically every six months or annually.
This procedure explains how to perform a GDP calibration of the supply (STS/SRS) and return (RTS/RRS) sensors
using DataLINE software version 3.1 or higher. The calibration procedure should be conducted in pairs (STS/SRS,
or RTS/RRS) and it is recommended to calibrate before the full pre-trip inspection.
Before removing the Supply or Return air sensors from the unit, turn the ON/OFF switch and
circuit breaker to the OFF position. Disconnect the power plug from the unit. Follow proper
lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot inadvertently be energized. It is
important that all dismantling work is done and tools and personnel are away from the unit
before powering on the unit for calibration.
