Microwave ovens provide a convenient
and safe way of cooking food in the
workplace, however faults can occur
and unless periodically tested they
may become a health and safety
hazard without you being aware. |
|
Lack of cleanliness, poor
maintenance of the door seals and
rough handling can often lead to
microwave leakage measurement levels
in excess of the recommended limits
as laid down in BS5175. |

How do we carry out Microwave
Leakage Testing?
|
|
Safety interlock switches and the
door seals should be inspected for
any signs of damage to ensure that
they function correctly and safely. |
|
Testing of the microwave involves
measurement of the radiation levels
around the oven using a microwave
detection instrument to ensure
compliance with the 5 mW/cm2 limit. |
