MHRA Cooling: Complete Compliance Solutions for Pharmaceutical Warehouses

Pharmaceutical storage facilities across the UK are required by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to maintain precise temperature conditions to protect product quality and patient safety.

MHRA-compliant warehouses must keep internal conditions between 8°C and 25°C, ensuring that temperature-sensitive medicines, vaccines, and healthcare products remain safe throughout storage and distribution.

These regulations demand more than just temperature control — they require reliable system design, continuous temperature mapping, and verifiable monitoring to prove compliance at all times.

Celsius Design: The Experts in MHRA Cooling Solutions

At Celsius Design Ltd, we’re industry leaders in providing low-cost, energy-efficient MHRA cooling systems for pharmaceutical warehouses and distribution centres across the UK.

Our solutions are designed to achieve stable, compliant conditions year-round using a combination of:

  • EcoCooling technology for energy-efficient temperature management

  • Gas, oil, electric, or propane heating systems to maintain conditions during winter

  • Temperature mapping systems for complete visibility and reporting

  • Automated alerts and remote access for real-time environmental control

Each Celsius system is tailored to the specific layout and thermal characteristics of the site, guaranteeing accuracy, reliability, and full MHRA compliance.

Energy-Efficient by Design

Unlike traditional refrigeration-based systems, EcoCooling uses natural evaporative cooling to deliver powerful results while drastically reducing energy use.

Key benefits include:

  • Up to 90% energy savings compared to air conditioning

  • Lower carbon emissions, helping facilities meet sustainability goals

  • Consistent performance in large storage areas and high racking zones

  • Minimal maintenance and low long-term running costs

This makes EcoCooling the ideal solution for MHRA-compliant environments, offering both regulatory control and sustainable performance.

The Importance of Temperature Mapping

A critical MHRA requirement is that all pharmaceutical storage areas must be fully temperature mapped. Celsius Design integrates this process into every installation as part of our total compliance package.

Our advanced temperature mapping systems include:

  • Wireless sensors with battery life up to two years

  • Real-time data feeds using radio technology (no field wiring)

  • Automated reports for regulatory audit trails

  • Instant alerts and email notifications if deviations occur

  • Remote access via computer or smartphone from anywhere in the world

This ensures complete control and documentation of environmental conditions — a vital part of any MHRA audit or inspection.

Case Study: Amethyst Group, Wellesbourne

Celsius Design recently completed a 9,000m² warehouse cooling and temperature mapping project for the Amethyst Group in Wellesbourne.

The system integrates EcoCooling units for efficient temperature control with a mixed heating system to maintain year-round conditions between 8°C and 25°C.
The result? Consistent compliance, reduced operating costs, and improved energy efficiency across one of the UK’s leading pharmaceutical distribution facilities.
