Mercury Thermometers to Be Fully Banned from Production in 2026
As the January 1, 2026 deadline for the full ban on the production of mercury-containing thermometers approaches, the era of mercury thermometers- which have served Chinese households for decades-is drawing to a close. Amid this industry transformation, Hangzhou Health Shining Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., a leading player in the medical device and health monitoring sector, has taken the lead in deploying mercury-free and electronic temperature measurement solutions. Leveraging mature product lines, technological innovations, and extensive market coverage, the company is empowering a "temperature measurement revolution" centered on health and environmental protection, garnering widespread recognition from consumers and the industry alike.
What is a Digital Temperature Measurement Series
Focusing on convenience and intelligence, the product line covers multiple categories. The contact electronic thermometer has a soft and hard head design, which is safe and comfortable to use, and can display results in 30 seconds. Some thermometer is equipped with a backlit large screen and a fever alarm function, making it easy for the elderly and children to operate.
The infrared ear thermometer and forehead thermometer independently developed by the company adopt imported sensors, with a measurement error of less than ±0.2℃, and can complete temperature measurement in 1 second. The high-end intelligent version also supports Bluetooth connection to mobile phones, realizing data recording, trend analysis and remote reminder functions, which is widely used in maternal and child care institutions and home health management. In the double 11 promotion in 2025, the electronic thermometer series of Hangzhou Health Shining Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. achieved sales of 1000000 units, ranking among the top 10 in the industry.

Future Outlook: Deepening Technological Innovation & Expanding Global Layout
Looking forward to the post-2026 market, Hangzhou Health Shining Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. has a clear development plan. In terms of product R&D, the company will continue to increase investment in mercury-free material technology, aiming to reduce the production cost of mercury-free glass thermometers by 30% within two years, and launch more cost-effective products. At the same time, it will focus on the research and development of intelligent temperature measurement products, integrate technologies such as AI algorithm and Internet of Things, and realize functions such as real-time monitoring of abnormal body temperature and synchronous warning to medical institutions, which will be applied to chronic disease management and elderly care scenarios.
In terms of market expansion, Hangzhou Health Shining Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. will not only consolidate the domestic market but also accelerate the pace of going global. The mercury-free and electronic thermometer products have obtained CE certification and ISO certification, and have been exported to more than 20 countries and regions such as Southeast Asia, Europe and South America. The company plans to set up overseas R&D and production bases in the next three years to better meet the needs of the global market for green and safe temperature measurement products.
"The ban on mercury thermometers is a new starting point for the temperature measurement industry," said Hangzhou Health Shining Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.. "Hangzhou Health Shining Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. will adhere to the development concept of 'technology leads health, environmental protection creates the future, continue to deepen product innovation and service upgrading, and make greater contributions to global public health and environmental protection."
Advantages of Electronic Thermometers & Forehead Thermometers Over Mercury Thermometers
Safety & Environmental Friendliness
- Mercury-free design: Eliminates the risk of mercury leakage (a toxic heavy metal) that can cause severe health hazards (e.g., poisoning via skin contact, inhalation) and environmental pollution. In contrast, broken mercury thermometers require professional disposal, which is time-consuming and costly.
- Child/pet-safe: Shock-resistant and shatterproof construction prevents accidents during use, making them ideal for households with kids or pets-no need to worry about glass breakage or mercury exposure.
Speed & Convenience
- Rapid temperature reading:Electronic thermometers (oral/axillary/rectal) deliver results in 10–60 seconds, compared to 3–5 minutes for mercury thermometers.Forehead thermometers (non-contact) provide instant readings in 1–3 seconds with a simple scan, perfect for restless children or urgent temperature checks.
- Easy operation: One-button activation, clear digital displays (backlit for low-light use), and auto-shutoff functions enhance user experience-no need for manual calibration or reading tiny mercury marks.
