In recent years, infrared thermometer technology has been refined and improved such that relatively low cost, hand held devices can deliver much more accurate temperature measurements over a greater temperature range. This has enabled the use of infrared thermometers for food safety applications as a screening tool.

As is usually always the case, it is important to use the right tool for the job at hand. UL offers an infrared thermometer certification service intended to assist the food safety professional in choosing an infrared thermometer that:

  • produces accurate surface temperature measurements,
  • under a variety of expected use conditions, and
  • informs the user on the proper use and limitations of the device.
