What is the calibration frequency of appliances like deep fryers and medical fridges
Equipment calibration frequency in the UAE
is mandated by food safety and health regulations.
• High-risk equipment (e.g., deep fryers,
ovens, medical fridges) requires calibration every 3-6 months.
• Lower-risk items often need annual
calibration; heavy usage items may require more frequent checks.
• Calibration schedules:
Commercial Kitchen Equipment (e.g., ovens, fryers): every 3 months (quarterly).
Cold Rooms/Walk-in Freezers/Medical Fridges: every 3 months.
Thermometers & High-Usage Devices: every 3 to 6 months.
General Laboratory/Industrial Instruments: annually or every 6 months if
high-usage.
Key considerations include:
Food Code compliance to prevent foodborne illnesses and maintain accurate
temperatures.
Medical equipment must follow strict maintenance, performance verification, and
recalibration schedules.
