Summary
In short
- A refrigeration unit service record is a record used in KnowFleet that records service and performance testing of a transport refrigeration unit, including temperature pull down and refrigerant. It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme.
- Run at the service interval. Completed by a certified technician.
- The template holds 46 fields across 6 sections.
- Scoring is units compliant, where high is good.
- ISO 55001 is asset management systems. The international standard for getting value from physical assets across their whole life. Underpins the maintenance templates.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Cold chain, Refrigerant records.
What it is
What it is
What is a refrigeration unit service record?
A refrigeration unit service record is a record used in KnowFleet that records service and performance testing of a transport refrigeration unit, including temperature pull down and refrigerant. It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme.
When is a refrigeration unit service record completed?
A refrigeration unit service record is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Run at the service interval.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Pressure Systems and Refrigeration programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links cold chain, refrigerant records
Not for
- Vehicle Service Record, which records a scheduled vehicle service, what was done, parts used and the next due point.
- Vehicle Safety Inspection, which records the periodic safety inspection of a commercial vehicle to the required standard, with defects classified.
- Tyre Management Record, which records tyre condition, pressure, tread depth and replacement across the fleet.
- Anything outside KnowFleet, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the refrigeration unit service record template based on?+
It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.1. ISO 55001 is asset management systems. The international standard for getting value from physical assets across their whole life. Underpins the maintenance templates. ISO is international Organization for Standardization. A voluntary international standard. Widely adopted, often required by customers, and certifiable where a management system standard.
What sections does the refrigeration unit service record contain?+
There are 6 sections: header, service, performance, compliance, related records, outcome. Together they hold 46 fields, 38 of which are required.
How many refrigeration unit service record records should we have?+
This is a singleton. One record per workspace, set up once and maintained, rather than one per event. Other templates refer back to it.
Which programme does the refrigeration unit service record belong to?+
It is part of Pressure Systems and Refrigeration, Fleet and Driver Compliance, Cold Chain and Transport. Statutory examinations in date and an ammonia position that stands up to a regulator visit.
How is a refrigeration unit service record scored?+
Scoring is units compliant. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the refrigeration unit service record template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the refrigeration unit service record library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowFleet — fleet and transport. Drivers, vehicles, hours, cargo securement and operator licence compliance.
