Microwave Oven Testing and Inspecting

We offer a complete microwave oven safety testing service.

This service includes both electrical safety testing and a leakage / performance test and the good news is that whilst some companies charge extra to emission test a microwave, we will do it for free if we are already performing the testing and tagging at your site.

Microwave ovens can be the most intensely used and abused piece of electrical equipment in the kitchen and unless they are maintained and kept clean they can become corroded and dangerous.

To test a microwave oven, firstly we visually inspect the appliance and then perform the usual electrical tests as described on the Procedures page. Once we know the oven is electrically sound, we check that the door interlocks work correctly along with the oven controls and switches. Then a measurement of the radiation level around the door and control panel is taken using our microwave leakage detector to ensure the 5 mW/cm2 limit is not exceeded.

The relevant test labels are placed on the oven and the results noted on our test sheet.
