Why We Provide Alternatives to Mercury Thermometers

Nelson-Jameson is the go-to all-in-one supplier for food manufacturing needs, but we go beyond providing the tools that are needed. We’re also committed to food safety as well as regulatory compliance, and meeting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. The commitment to each of these drives our product selection which is evident in our recent decision to focus our selection on non-mercury thermometers in order to help prevent contamination from glass breakage and meet environmental regulations.

A Dedication to Regulatory Compliance

We know that keeping your facility compliant is a top priority, which is why we supply products that meet rigorous industry standards. Our temperature monitoring equipment includes options with essential ratings and certifications, such as NIST Compliant, NSF Rated, RoHS Compliant, CE Rated, WEEE Compliant, CFR Compliant, and HACCP tested models.

To learn more about maintaining compliance, read our guide on the difference between NIST-traceable calibration certificates and certificates of accuracy.

Prioritizing ESG and Safe Alternatives to Mercury

As demonstrated in our annual ESG Report, Nelson-Jameson is deeply committed to "shaping a sustainable world". A major part of this commitment involves offering safe, environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional mercury-filled thermometers. We strongly encourage transitioning to safe alternatives, such as data loggers, digital thermometers, or spirit-filled, bio-safe liquid-in-glass thermometers.

Things to Know When Ordering

When you are ready to upgrade your equipment or transition away from mercury thermometers, we want to make the process as seamless as possible. Here are a few important things to consider when shopping for your temperature-monitoring equipment:

• What is your application?
• What is the required temperature range?
• What accuracy is needed?
• What length is needed?
• Do you need a total, partial, or complete immersion type?
• Do you require calibration points?
• What type of calibration certificate do you need? (NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate or NIST Certificate of Accuracy?)
