Microwave Leakage Testing
Microwave ovens are an essential appliance in homes and workplaces, making life convenient by quickly heating and cooking food. However, over time, microwaves may develop faults, such as door seal wear or internal component damage, potentially leading to dangerous radiation leakage. Microwave leakage testing is vital to ensure your microwave operates safely and efficiently, protecting both users and the surrounding environment.
What Is Microwave Radiation Leakage?
Microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation to heat food. If the oven’s door seals, hinges, or other components are damaged, radiation may leak, exposing users to harmful levels of electromagnetic waves. This can pose serious health risks, including burns or long-term exposure effects.
Regular microwave radiation testing ensures your appliance complies with safety standards and remains safe to use. At Go Test and Tag, we conduct thorough microwave leakage testing to detect radiation leakage and assess the performance of your appliance.
Why Is Microwave Testing Important?
Microwave leakage can result from:
- Damaged or worn-out door seals
- Misaligned doors or hinges
- Physical wear and tear from regular use
- Manufacturing defects in older appliances
Even minor leaks can pose significant risks to users’ health and safety. Our expert technicians can identify potential issues and prevent hazards before they escalate. Protect your team, family, or customers with professional testing services.
How We Test for Microwave Radiation Leakage
Our technicians use advanced microwave leakage detectors that comply with AS/NZS 60335.2.25 safety standards. The testing process involves:
- Visual Inspection – Examining the microwave’s door, hinges, and seals for physical damage or wear.
- Radiation Measurement – Using a calibrated microwave leakage detector to measure radiation levels while the appliance operates with a cup of water inside. This ensures any emissions are below the safe limit of 5 mW/cm².
- Performance Assessment – Testing the appliance’s power output to ensure it operates efficiently.
- Certification – Applying a test tag or sticker to confirm the appliance has passed safety checks.
