    Hello seafood list, I'll take the chance that we are debating thermometers
    and their regulations and will continue the discussion:

    On page 161 of the "Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Control
    Guidance: Third Edition", it states:
    "When digital time/temperature data loggers, record thermometers, or high
    temperature alarms are used for in-plant monitoring, check for accuracy
    against a known accurate thermometer (NIST Traceable) at least once per
    day."

    Can someone elaborate a little more on that statement? I assume, the
    thermometer has to be sent out to get NIST traceable certification. If
    that's true, how often a firm needs to do so?

    Any comment is highly appreciated,

    Thanks!
