Test Result

The Test Result page will show a time/temperature graph of the system’s performance during the test (there will be more than one of these featured within a single report).

Details of where each temperature is taken from are referenced and linked by colour code to the graph.

A short results table is included for quick reference.

A list of the equipment used during each specific test is also included on this page and will link to the calibration certificates at the end of the report.
