Is a pallet temperature rating the same as the goods temperature requirement?

No. Manufacturer temperature limits describe the pallet, while food or medicine limits describe the goods. Craemer gives a temperature range for its EURO H1 model; that example must not be copied onto unrelated H1 or plastic products.

What to check next

• Check exact model data and exposure duration.
• Separately verify goods temperature control.
