Infrared Thermometer OEM Sourcing in China
1 resources tagged with "Temperature Measurement"
Temperature measurement products from China split into two distinct sourcing paths: non-contact medical body thermometers and industrial IR pyrometers. The split matters because medical body units need FDA 510(k) clearance for the US and CE under the MDR for Europe, while industrial pyrometers only need standard CE/EMC. A medical IR thermometer measures forehead temperature to roughly ±0.2–0.3°C clinical accuracy, and that accuracy claim has to survive your own incoming inspection, not just the factory datasheet.
Sourcing IR thermometers means matching the regulatory path to the use case — medical body devices are FDA/MDR-regulated and far more demanding than industrial pyrometers; we verify the clearance applies to the exact model, not a sister product.

FAQ
What certification does a medical IR body thermometer need for the US?
FDA 510(k) clearance, since it's a Class II medical device. For the EU it needs CE marking under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Industrial IR pyrometers don't need these — just standard CE/EMC.
How accurate are non-contact IR thermometers?
Medical-grade non-contact body thermometers target roughly ±0.2–0.3°C clinical accuracy. Verify the claim on samples, since lower-cost units often miss it at the edges of the measurement range.
