Insulated Equipment Type Testing (ATP)

Insulated Equipment Type Testing is a type test performed within the scope of ATP, the international agreement governing the carriage of perishable foodstuffs and the use of special equipment. ATP is a multilateral framework, adopted by numerous countries, that sets out requirements to ensure the safe transport of perishable goods under chilled or frozen conditions.

Purpose Objective

  • To verify that appropriate temperature conditions are maintained during the transport of perishable foodstuffs.
  • To help preserve food safety and product quality throughout the logistics chain.

Test Scope Scope

  • Insulated special transport equipment used for the carriage of perishable foodstuffs.
  • A broad range of equipment—from semi-trailers to smaller commercial vehicles, including tank-type equipment for liquid food transport.

Technical Implementation Process

  • ATP insulated equipment type tests are conducted in accordance with the requirements defined in the ATP Convention.
  • The ability of insulated equipment to consistently maintain the specified temperature conditions is verified.

Application Areas Use

  • Transport of perishable foodstuffs such as meat, dairy products, seafood, and ice cream.
  • Insulated transport equipment, mechanical refrigeration units, heaters, and eutectic plate systems.

STEST performs insulated equipment type testing under the ATP Convention on special transport equipment used for the carriage of perishable foodstuffs.
