WHO PQS Introduction to EMS
This document provides an introduction to the WHO IMD-PQS Equipment Monitoring System (EMS) specification suite. The EMS set of specifications was created to enable standardized, interoperable collection of cold chain equipment (CCE) performance data. It aims to make those data available to service technicians, health facility workers, and optionally to remote viewers or aggregate reporting. Key to the specifications is that each CCE appliance is a local repository of its own performance data, and that those data are accessible to a local user or service technician through a standardized interface, and optionally via visual interfaces and remote data transmission. The specifications are intended to be flexible to cover multiple device categories, and to be phased into those categories over time, starting with newly- prequalified E003 stationary refrigeration and freezing devices in 2024.
