What this means for your business

The EN12830 certification validates that Tapp delivers professional-grade accuracy and reliability for cold chain applications across pharmaceuticals, food transport, and other temperature-sensitive logistics. Most importantly, this certification also applies to our QuickTap functionality, meaning you can access certified temperature data without the app.

“Our paper-based datalogger now meets the same rigorous standards as traditional plastic devices, but with significantly less environmental impact and the convenience of instant smartphone access.”
