Temperature Excursion温度偏移
A temperature excursion is an event in which a pharmaceutical, biological, or medical product is exposed to temperatures outside its labeled or protocol-defined storage range for a measurable period of time. In life science translation, it appears in cold-chain shipping logs, stability deviation reports, and product complaint investigations where the exact duration, observed temperature, and impact assessment must be documented precisely.

Where this term appears
Translators encounter temperature excursion in logistics labels, transport deviation reports, standard operating procedures, and quality investigations when a shipment exceeds permitted storage conditions. The text often includes timestamps, data logger values, and instructions for quarantine or release. Accurate localization supports decisions about whether a product remains usable.
Translation checks
A critical error is converting temperature ranges or time thresholds incorrectly, such as swapping Celsius and Fahrenheit or omitting that an excursion exceeded stability data. Mistranslating 'quarantine' as 'release' can also cause an unsafe product to be distributed. Even small unit shifts in these records may lead to wrong disposition decisions.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check intended use, warnings, document versions and approved terminology with the project team. Translation supports documentation; it does not establish product approval or regulatory acceptance.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
