UDI Storage and Handling Types

The storage and handling types are used to be able to represent the storage / handling conditions at DI level. The storage and handling types represent the predefined ranges or conditions which are expressed in a certain unit of measure (for example, temperature in degree Celsius). The storage and handling types can also be linked to a concrete medical symbol which is used when creating the UDI labels for this storage condition type.
