In terms of temperature monitoring, an IR thermometer is one of the best-invented instruments that you can use without going near a super hot object with a fast and reliable result.
Infrared thermometers put more control in your hands:
Hard to reach areas
Dangerous equipment like moving machinery
Needs social distancing – for body temperature monitoring at a distance, just point and measure
That needs faster response and results for immediate monitoring
Monitoring instruments like the IR thermometer gun need to be accurate in order to be reliable and to properly detect the temperature of a body that is being monitored. Any inaccuracy will result in a problem – “your health and safety depend on it therefore we need to have a proper verification procedure that is fast and simple to perform.”
This is where the importance of IR thermometer calibration comes in. And during calibration, we need to perform verification in order to detect any out of specifications.
