What are the regulatory Definitions for "Ambient"， "Room Temperature" and "Cold Chain"?

法规对“常温”、“室温”和“冷链”的定义是什么？

On the outer packaging of pharmaceutical products one often finds labels with storage requirements like， for example， "ambient"， "room temperature" and "cold chain". But what do they exactly mean? And do these conditions also apply during transport?

在药品的外包装上，我们经常会看到标签上有存贮的要求，如“常温”、“室温”以及“冷链”。它们是什么意思呢？这些条件是否也适用于运输过程？

The second question is easy to answer: "The required storage conditions for medicinal products should be maintained during transportation within the defined limits as described by the manufacturers or on the outer packaging." (EU GDP Guidelines). But according to the PIC/S Good Distribution Guide these conditions should also be applied for transportation (see section 9.2.1).

第二个问题很容易回答。“药品在运输过程中应维持在生产商给定的或在外包装上指定的存贮条件范围内”（EU GDP指南）。根据PIC/S的GDP指南，这些条件也需要应用于运输过程中（参见第9.2.1部分）。

With the first question， it is more difficult. Here， different definitions can be found.

第一个问题则要更难回答一点。在不同的地方有不同的界定。

The European Pharmacopoeia (Pharm.Eur.) gives some hints in chapter 1.2 (Other provisions applying to general chapters and monographs) with referring to analytical procedures:

欧洲药典在第1.2章给出了一些暗示，引用了分析方法（其它条款适用于通则和各论）

Deep-freeze: below -15°C;

Refrigerator: 2°C to 8°C;

Cold or cool: 8°C to 15°C;

Room temperature: 15°C to 25°C.

深冷： -15°C以下

冷冻：2-8°C

低温或凉温：8-15°C

室温：15-25°C

There are also some definitions in the WHO Guidance:

在WHO指南中，也有一些定义：

Store frozen: transported within a cold chain and stored at -20°C (4°F).

Store at 2°-8°C (36°-46°F): for heat sensitive products that must not be frozen.

Cool: Store between 8°-15°C (45°-59°F).

Room temperature: Store at 15°-25°C (59°-77°F).

Ambient temperature: Store at the surrounding temperature. This term is not widely used due to significant variation in ambient temperatures. It means "room temperature" or normal storage conditions， which means storage in a dry， clean， well ventilated area at room temperatures between 15° to 25°C (59°-77°F) or up to 30°C， depending on climatic conditions.

冷冻存贮：需要冷链运输，并存贮在-20°C（4°F）

2-8°C（36-46°F）存贮：不能冷冻的热敏药品

低温：在8-15°C（45-59°F）存贮

室温：在15-25°C（59-77°F）存贮

常温：环境温度存贮。该术语使用不广泛，因为常温变化很大。它表示“室温”或常规存贮条件，意思是说存贮在15-25°C（59-77°F）之间的室温、干燥通风环境中，或者根据气候条件可能达到30°C。

And the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) has some references.USP <659> "Packaging and Storage Requirements" gives various examples for different storage conditions， for example:

美国药典则有一些章节可供参考。在USP<659>章节“包装和存贮要求”中给出了不同存贮条件的例子，例如：

Cold: Any temperature not exceeding 8°C (46 °F).

Cool: Any temperature between 8° and 15° (46° and 59 °F)

Room temperature: The temperature prevailing in a work area.

Controlled room temperature: The temperature maintained thermostatically that encompasses at the usual and customary working environment of 20°-25° (68°-77 °F). Excursions between 15° and 30° (59° and 86 °F) that are experienced in pharmacies， hospitals， and warehouses， and during shipping are allowed. Provided the mean kinetic temperature does not exceed 25°， transient spikes up to 40° are permitted as long as they do not exceed 24 h. Spikes above 40° may be permitted only if the manufacturer so instructs.

Warm: Any temperature between 30° and 40°C (86° and 104 °F).

Excessive heat: Any temperature above 40° (104 °F).

低温：8 ?C（46 ?F）以下

凉处：8-15 ?C（46-59 ?F）

室温：工作区域的主导温度

受控室温：在常规工作环境中采用温控方式控制在20-25 ?C（68-77 ?F）。在药房、医院和仓库里，以及在运输中允许在15-30 ?C（59-86 ?F）之间波动。如果平均动力学温度不超过25 ?C，允许在24小时以内温度升至不超过40 ?C。只有生产商有说明时，温度才可以超过40 ?C。

暖温：30-40 ?C之间（86-104 ?F）

热温：高于40?C（104 ?F）

The Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP) describes temperature for tests or storage as follows:

日本药典对检测和存贮温度描述如下：

Cold: 1°C - 15°C

Standard temperature: 20°C

Ordinary temperature: 15°C - 25°C

Room temperature: 1°C - 30°C

Lukewarm: 30°C - 40°C

低温：1-15 ?C

标准温度：20 ?C

常温：15-25 ?C

室温：1-30 ?C

暖温：30-40 ?C

This is not overall harmonised， as this simple summary shows:

So， as a resume， terms like "ambient"， "room temperature" and "cold chain" should be avoided as the only labelling for storage or transport boxes and containers because they are not always clear and might have different meanings in other parts of the world. Storage conditions are always better explicitly specified in terms of a defined temperature range (e.g.， 15°C -25°C or +2°C to +8°C). Particular attention should be given to avoiding freezing of liquids and semi-solids.

总体来说，应避免在存贮和运输盒上和包装上仅仅使用像“常温”、“室温”及“冷链”之类的术语，因为这些术语并不总是很清晰，可能在世界上其它地方有不同的含义。存贮条件最好是指定清晰的温度范围（例如，15-25°C或+2至+8°C）。尤其要注意避免液体和半固体的冷冻。
