You need to check with your local regulatory agency for their requirements.
In the United States, several years ago, the Model Food Code changed the minimum hot holding temperature from 140F (60C) to 135F (57C). The individual states may or may not have adopted the updated Food Code. If you are not in the United States, other rules may apply.
