The compendial storage terms were originally in prose and nobody could find them. I have tabulated them with a notes column, because the notes are where the useful content is — particularly that controlled room temperature carries its own permitted excursion band, which is the single most misunderstood definition in the chapter. — — ColdChainCleo (talk) 10:05, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Better. One quibble: the table now states ranges as though they were universal, and the article says elsewhere that European and WHO definitions are only closely comparable. Suggest the caption names USP explicitly, which it now does, and the body keeps the hedge. — — Hedgerow_Hal (talk) 13:31, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Also worth stating that a domestic freezer is not a compendial freezer. People read "freezer, −25 to −10 °C" and assume their appliance qualifies; many run at −18 °C, which does qualify, and some run at −24 °C or colder, which does not. — — UnitsUrsula (talk) 09:22, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
