Microwave radiation leakage testing

Test and Tag offer a microwave oven leakage and safety testing service to compliment our portable appliance testing service, which can be carried out at the same time as your PAT testing. We are able to test both domestic and industrial microwaves.

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 sanitation and poor maintenance of the door seals can lead to leakage levels in excess of the recommended limit. Testing of the unit involve measurement of the radiation levels around the oven using microwave detection equipment to ensure compliance with legal limits.

The safety interlock switches and the door seals are inspected for any signs of damage to ensure that they function correctly and safety.
