Microwave Leakage Testing Services
Microwave ovens are a common feature in workplace kitchens, staff rooms and commercial food preparation areas across Perth. Over time, the door seals, hinges and cavity of a microwave can deteriorate, potentially allowing harmful microwave radiation to leak. Aussie Test & Tag provides professional microwave leakage testing to ensure your microwave ovens are safe for continued use.
Microwave radiation leakage is a genuine workplace health concern. Exposure to microwave radiation can cause thermal injuries, including burns to skin and eyes. Regular leakage testing identifies faulty microwaves before they pose a risk to your staff and visitors.
Our Microwave Testing Process
Our microwave leakage testing service includes:
- Visual inspection of the door seal, hinges, latch and cavity for damage or deterioration
- Measurement of microwave radiation leakage using a calibrated microwave survey meter
- Testing at multiple points around the door seal and ventilation openings
- Power output verification to ensure the magnetron is operating within specification
- Comparison of leakage levels against the limit of 5 mW/cm² at 50mm as per AS/NZS 60335.2.25
- Clear pass or fail tagging with test date and next due date
- Detailed digital report with leakage measurements for each unit tested
How Often Should Microwaves Be Tested?
Commercial and workplace microwaves should be tested for leakage at least every 12 months. Microwaves in high-use environments such as commercial kitchens, staff canteens and aged care facilities may require more frequent testing. Any microwave that has been dropped, damaged or shows signs of door seal deterioration should be tested immediately.
