Required to use a thermometer.

Does anyone know if using a thermometer to steam milk is required by health code? If so, does it vary by location? I live in Dallas, TX. I am being required to use a thermometer by my supervisors. They are saying it's a health code issue. More often than not the thermometers are out of whack and need calibrating and I usually end up steaming the milk by touch/sound. For me, the thermometer just gets in the way. I am consistent with my milk and always hit between 140-150 degrees.
