EN12830 certified variant
Certified Cold-Chain Monitoring
ip³Things offers an EN12830-certified BLE temperature-sensor variant for food, pharmaceutical, refrigerated logistics and other temperature-sensitive products. The sensor records temperature at the asset and reports through a compatible BLE-capable ip³Things tracker or BLE-enabled ip³Gateway into the platform and alerting workflow.
What the certified variant provides
Recorded temperature evidence at the asset.
The following capabilities apply to the EN12830-certified sensor variant only. Other ip³Sensors and BLE options in the portfolio have different functions and different certification scopes.
ISO 17025 laboratory calibration
Calibration performed in an ISO 17025-certified laboratory.
IP67 enclosure
Sealed for wash-down, chilled and frozen storage environments.
Up to 345 days of history
Internal temperature-history storage on the device.
Food-contact compliant enclosure
Food-grade enclosure for relevant food applications.
BLE edge device
Reports through a compatible ip³Things tracker or BLE-enabled ip³Gateway.
Reference architecture

Frequently asked questions
- What does EN12830 cover?
- EN12830 is a European standard for temperature recorders used in the transport, storage and distribution of temperature-sensitive goods. It addresses the performance and suitability of the recording device itself, not hazardous-area protection.
- Is EN12830 the same as ATEX or IECEx certification?
- No. EN12830 is a temperature-recording standard for cold-chain applications. ATEX and IECEx are hazardous-area certification regimes applied to separate model variants. Certification is model and variant specific and the regimes are not interchangeable.
- What accuracy and range does the EN12830 variant support?
- The EN12830 variant is a 0.5 °C accuracy class BLE temperature sensor across a -20 °C to +60 °C range, calibrated in an ISO 17025-certified laboratory, with an IP67 enclosure and internal temperature history of up to 345 days.
- Does the sensor connect directly to a cellular network?
- No. It is a BLE edge device. A compatible BLE-capable ip³Things tracker or a BLE-enabled ip³Gateway receives the data and carries it over the cellular or IP network into the ip³Things platform and the alerting workflow.
- Can the same sensor be used in a classified hazardous area?
- No. Hazardous-area use requires a separately certified ATEX or IECEx model variant selected for the site classification and jurisdiction. Do not assume one physical variant carries multiple certifications.
