Perishable Products Export Control Act, 1983 (Act No. 9 of 1983)RegulationsRegulations relating to the Export of Perishable Products, 2025 - effective July 2025Chapter 10: Stowage and TransitPart A: Specialised Refrigerated Vessels80. General procedures for loading of specialised refrigerated vessels |
| (1) | The efficient uniform pre-cooling of vessel spaces, prior to loading into specialised refrigerated vessels, must be achieved. |
| (2) | The following general procedures shall apply: |
| (a) | Cold air shall be supplied to the bottom of the palletised perishable product (high pressure) and removed from the top of the pallets (low pressure), and shall therefore be circulated from the bottom vertically up through and around the pallets. |
| (b) | Fan spaces and air passages shall remain unobstructed. |
| (3) | Once the cold chain has commenced, increases in the temperature of perishable product shall be kept to an absolute minimum, as this is likely to lead to the packing material becoming moist and the stimulation of senescence and associated quality loss. |
