It covers all sizes of closed reach-in type cabinets designed and equipped for the storage

9、of prefrozen plasma components that need to be kept within specified limits of temperature. The cabinets are intended for use in hospitals and blood transfusion centres. Some users of cabinets may wish to make use of centralized data logging and alarm systems rather than local alarm and temperature

10、recording devices, so a type B cabinet is specified which allows the user to provide separate alarm systems. It is intended and recommended that type B cabinets are provided with separate temperature recording and alarm functions equivalent to those of type A cabinets. For safe operation of refriger

11、ating appliances and systems, reference should be made to BS 4434. It is recommended that the user should ensure that segregation and suitable access is provided where different types of product are stored in the same facility. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity fr

12、om legal obligations.
